@bondmanp -- I've been extremely pleased with Qobuz over the past two years. I also have a local library with a lot of obscure stuff, but then I've never expected my collection to be replaced by a streaming service. However, I find the following aspects of Qobuz VERY attractive:
- Listening to new releases and material that I don't have in my own collection. I've found several dozen artists and albums that I wasn't familiar with that are now part of my regular rotation. I'll just sample the new releases in various genres -- sometimes the song plays for only 5 or 10 seconds before I move on, and then sometimes I go "wow!"
- Better quality copies of some of my old material.
- Being able to instantly audition an artist or material that others have told me about or that I've heard elsewhere.
- Being able to check out hi-rez options.
