Just got started on Qobuz. Can anyone recommend an album or song?


I want to hear some good quality music and might move away from Tidal, but I have to hear quality recordings before I make a switch. Can anyone recommend an album or song that sounds truly exceptional on Qobuz?

If you're using a Node for streaming, there are tweaks to increase the SQ. I upgraded the stock PC to an aftermarket C7 power cord which provided an audible improvement. I recommend Wireworld or Cullen, about $100 to $150.

Using an ethernet connection from the router rather than WIFI is also an improvement. I'm using CAT8.

And having the modem/router on a separate circuit than your audio will lower noise generated by RFI. There are other threads on how to improve Bluesound sonics.

David Crosby's "If I could only remember my name" 50th anniversary album.

Eva Cassidy's "Live at Blues Alley" 25th anniversary album.

I tried Qobuz.  I  stayed with Amazon.  Sound was the same.  

For electronic:  Yello "Point"

Progressive:  Peter Gabriel "So"

Blues: Mighty Sam McClain Keep on Moving

Eclectic:  David Byrne/Brian Eno:  Everything that happens

Classical:  reference recordings "Trittico", RCA Living Stereo Leopold Stokowski "Rhapsodies"

ROCK: Fleetwood Mac "Rumours", Donald Fagan and Steely Dan several albums.  REM, Radiohead

Country: Billy Springs, Sturgill Simpson

I like your system and your taste in music (minus Fleetwood Mac). I think if you had a different streamer and DAC you would hear a difference.
