Qobuz or Apple Music?


Which service do you use?  Are they close in sound quality, or do you prefer one over the other?  

Thank you for your thoughts.

That's not close.  Q quality blows Apple away.  That said, in the past I used Apple but currently stream Qobuz premium, Tidal premium and Amazon HD in a head to head to head comparison.  Have to agree that generally Qobuz is best but sometimes Tidal rises up.  

Started with Tidal and very happy with my switch to Qobuz. I'm even starting to see 24/192 recordings pop up. I also think Qobuz has a slight sound quality advantage.

And not to sound like a snob, but Qobuz feels like I'm at the adult table compared to Tidal who seems more geared towards rap and explicit music, perhaps that's changed.

Either way I'd go with Qobuz or Tidal for now, pretty much every streamer will support them. You can use Soundiiz to transfer your favorites between the two.
