Qobuz vs. Tidal


Greetings to all,

I'm sure this has been asked before. Which do you prefer and why? Qobuz customer service is worse than terrible. Is Tidal CS any better? 

What about selection? 

Thank you!

Qobuz has the best sound quality and a much larger collection of high resolution albums than Tidal.

 

If you are using a streamer the software is constructed by the streamer manufacturer and not Qobuz. How are you streaming? I have used Qobuz for years and never had any reason to contact them.

+1 @ghdprentice I use Qobuz w/ roon and with out. How to pronounce Qobuz is a different story.

Like anything. once you get used to the particular interface it’s nothing.

FYI I make all playlists in the native Qobuz app and use/play in roon.

Here’s one And here’s another

I am with others here, never had any issues with Qobuz. My Aurender’s Conductor App offers seamless integration of both Qobuz and Tidal. And I prefer Qobuz over Tidal based on my genre preferences.

Thank you for sharing your playlists, amazing selection!

FYI…Tidal is dropping its prices starting in April. $10.99 per month.

As to sound quality, I found it to vary based on streamer. If you’re running Aurender then Qobuz will sound slightly better. Tidal still sounds good and has some music that’s not available on Qobuz. With Lumin and Bricasti I found Tidal to sound a bit better.
It’s worth having both if you can afford it.
