Tidal or Qobuz


Many say Qobuz sounds better than Tidal, not Jay.

I tested them both and could not tell a difference on my gear. I went with Qobuz just because I didnt like the history of how Tidal came to be (The Jay Z thing).

Recently switched from Tidal to Qobuz after Tidal shut down their discounted annual subscription.  Can’t distinguish a real sound difference between them…both are great.  I do miss Tidal’s much better music selection in Blues, Folk, Bluegrass, Rock.  Qobuz’s selection often can be a few albums if any while Tidal offers many if not all of an artists discography. Also, somewhat disappointed more music isn’t offered above 16/144. Higher Res offerings are quite an improvement.  Still a lot of love for both services and streaming!

Qobuz. Sound is slightly better and they have about 1/2 million high resolution albums versus fifty thousand or so for Tidal.
