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!

+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.

@wsrrsw

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.

Also the search leaves a lot to be desired.

@arnold_h Amen brother.  I’ve got the same complaints, and I emailed Qobuz a year or so ago about it but obviously nothing has happened.  With the level of tech today you wouldn’t think it’d be too hard to have someone fairly easily implement a decent search function, and I’m sure we’re not the only ones who are dissatisfied/frustrated with it.  Plus, as a customer it just comes across like they don’t give a crap.  Seems like an unforced error to me.
