STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES
I am 100% digital using Roon. I play from my extensive hard drive, Qobuz and Tidal. I love to find new music using Roon Radio or Roon suggestions. Here is my issue: I generally find Qobuz to sound better on my system. I do not have final unfold of MQA on my Tambaqui DAC; yet ROON always defaults to a Tidal version.
So I will search 'versions' and select the highest resolution of a Qobuz version.
Can Roon be set to default to Qobuz vs defaulting to a Tidal version?
Do others agree that Qobuz sounds better?

Never was a fan of Tidal but did compare it to Qobuz years ago, and preferred Qobuz. But I think tidal really shot themselves in the foot when they increased their pricing and you need their highest tier to get MQA (which I'm not a fan of). So basically they are double the cost of Qobuz, cause why would you want Tidal without MQA? |
Okay let's stir the pot. 1. Roon Software degrades SQ 2. Spotify and Apple sound better than Qobuz or Tidal 3. MQA is a waste of time 4. A Streamer without a Ripper and Storage is not a smart buy. 5. Tapping into a good source of new music is the most valuable goal. Now if you are going to challenge any of the above statements please include your scientific evidence. |
@jeffseight I prefer Roon with Qobuz as do my ears. My ears & I also don't think Tidal is as bad as others seem too.
No "scientific evidence" required. |
