The difference between Qoboz stream vs purchased songs

I am a admittedly noob, so please forgive my ignorance. Recently, have had the pleasure of getting a Innuos pulse mini, what a game changer! I knew that with the mini you cant buy music, only stream. Using Qoboz, is there’s a difference in sq between the two? I live on a fixed income so I have to be frugal and am trying to figure out where it’s best spent. Thanks so much for any info on this subject.

Your post confuses me. You state that you are frugal, but seem to be interested in spending more money should purchase improve the sound vs streaming. A good place to start is for you to post (on your profile) your full system down to all cabling. You might then state a budget and ask where it best be spent to improve the sound.

Buy music?

The simple answer no.

 

I have two Aurender streamers using Qobuz and if the published resolution is the same and, of course the same mastering, then no.

 

Qobuz supplies over half a million high Rez recordings and millions at CD quality level. If you want high quality sound then I recommend upgrading your streamer and (depending on your system) the rest of your system.
