Qobuz vs.Idagio


I suppose only classical listeners will be interested in this, but I’ve found that the SQ of Idagio in normal resolution to be superior to hi-res streaming on Qobuz. I believe it’s fuller and with better bass response.  I’ve suspected this for a while and now I’m convinced of it. 
Anyone else find this to be so, or am I the only one?

I enjoy the fidelity I get via Idagio a heck of a lot. At its best, Qobuz can still give me better resolution, imaging and tonal quality than Idagio, especially when my machinery majesterially grants me hi-rez (maybe 50% of the time), but the Idagians do possess a damnably fine bunch of ears. They're superb dial-twiddlers, that's for sure.

It’s got a very comprehensive classical music catalog and fantastic search engines.
