a more balanced view

always helpful to hear the various and numerous qualified opinions...

as of their latest build, Roon does allow you to select a preferred streaming service.

Hello @rmdtexas !  Wow thanks!!!  That is exactly what I was initially asking!

Now I did the Roon update, selected prefer Qobuz, and selected rate MQA as below CD quality but above lossy.  I would never have seen that, so very very much appreciated.  I hope this helps others, and look forward to continuing conversations of achieving great streaming quality!  Ken

With critical listening from both Tidal and QoBuz, I favor definitely QoBuz over Tidal for sound quality.  The better your digital components, the easier it will be to detect the differences with less noise and jitter...  

For all who use the Innuos/Roon/Qobuz combo as I do

try comparing SQ of the above vs Innuos Sense-i.e Roon off.

It is free if you have not tried it.

Go to my.innuos.com and turn off Roon.

Perhaps other makers besides Innuos have a similar option?

Anxious to hear the responses.
