Can we talk about Qobuz for a minute


    I use to use Spotify until i heard Tidal, and now with my Parasound Integrated amp having a pretty nice dac onboard im bypassing my Bluesound Node2’s internal dac and it sounds great.

    Is Qobuz just like Tidal as to song selections and ease of use. I haven’t check pricing either.

    Is there a reason some really like Qobuz sound better, without it turning into a blood bath Lol, thanx guys

When I started streaming a couple of years ago I did the trial for both Tidal and Qobuz.
Qobuz was sounding better. 
After some critical listening, I was sure Qobuz had superior SQ. 
I started to think that there was some compression applied by Tidal. But more 
likely it's EQ.
 
Qobooz, or in French, Qoboos.

I switched from Tidal to Qobuz and am much happier all around.  I also think MQA is an overly intrusive sham and want no part of it.

I liked Qobuz a lot. This is my last month though as Im stopping my subscription and will be using Spotify, that Ive kept for my kids.

Reason being, I finf the Qobuz interface through the Blusound app tedious, and using the Qobuz app, the Blusound only puts out CD quality.

im resting my ears a few months and am looking forward to Spotify HIFI.

Oops, hit send too send.

Beyond sound quality, the app UX is very important to me. I like Spotify’s AI curation of songs. I enjoy listening a lot better with an AI DJ, that Qobuz doesnt have.
