Qobuz or Tidal?


Qobuz or Tidal? And why?

Aurender, good DAC, no MQA. US.

@arthur1260 you are either hearing things or something is not set up equally between the two streaming services.  I speak from experience as I made the same mistake.  I've since corrected my mistake (reset Roon completely) and started fresh and made absolute certain I was comparing the same masters.  Comparing both streaming services this weekend, I find they are extremely close in SQ.  I run fiber optical to my house and an opticalRendu streamer.  So noise is pretty non-existent for streaming.  I agree with some comments here that Qobuz is a tad (and I mean a TAD) warmer.  But Tidal does not sound thin in any way.  That probably has to do with one's gear/setup.  In my setup, Tidal has plenty of bass and is slightly more neutral.  It also has a bit more treble extension.  Most noticeable on ride cymbal 'pings' within the soundstage.  Qobuz has slightly more bass presence but this translates into it being a bit too much when I really turn things up.  The treble is also very slightly subdued.  Those same ride cymbal pings lose much of their attack and sound further away/muffled.  Soundstage/imaging is a tough one to call and seems to depend on the track compared.  Overall, they are very close but you will probably prefer one over the other based on system chemistry.  Tidal wins out in my system but I am going to sub to Qobuz because it's close enough to me to save $7.50/month.  It should be noted that neither service can compete with home network (NAS) files but Tidal's sound signature is closer to them than Qobuz..
And if you are a BestBuy member you get a steep discount on Tidal's yearly subscription from the BB site. 
I have both... Qobuz sounds a bit better, but Tidal has a bit better selection.
Thank you @rajivhifi 
I will look into that. 
I can always use a steep discount, or a steep downhill, both are good!
Looked into the Best Buy savings.
Must be a My Best Buy member, which I already am.
Appears to be half off Tidal HiFi Music ($10/mo), but it appears the reduced price is only for the first year, so it might not be worth reestablishing a new Tidal account for only one year of savings.  Certainly sounds like it would be worth it for someone just starting out with Tidal.
