STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES

Thanks Sonic.  One quick question.  What is the highest resolution Qobuzz offers.  I know when I hooked up my BlueSound to my amp by way I gave up the potential of hearing up to 24/192.  If Qobuzz doesn’t limit their customers then I will give Qobuzz a try.  I was told Qobuzz was not as easy to use as Tidal.  I think MQA is most likely just a gate keeper.  I am just here to learn.  Thanks.

@larry5729 Qobuz is just as easy to use as Tidal. I don’t think I came across anything higher than 24/192 on Qobuz. 

FWIW, my DAC doesn’t do MQA so I had disabled it in my Lumin streamer and I am just letting the Roon core decode and render for my Tidal streaming. Sometimes Roon radio queues up a great song that’s only available on Tidal. 

my take

qobuz sound infinitesimally better than tidal... both are very very good

tidal has a larger library than qobuz at least for nonclassical music but qobuz selection is hardly limiting

mqa music on tidal has very high variability in sound quality, some are really excellent though

i use roon, like it alot, don’t think it degrades sound quality

Totally agree jss49.  I think I started the thread something like that..only to endure the lectures….  Now can Roon be set to point to Qobuz vs.Tidal by preference? [without eliminating Tidal]?  It does seem to default to Tidal selections in Roon Radio.  Happy 4th everyone!
