They are doing serious demonstration.

The conclusion is that Qobuz give more realistic bass and nuanced details than Tidal.

It is because that Tidal use more compression.

Qobuz always sounded more "wholesome" and "meaty" to me.

I cancelled Tidal for the same reason, couldn't stand being starved.

When I compared Qobuz sounded better. Additionally Qobuz has over half a million high rez albums and Tidal has a small fraction.

I started with Tidal and after a year of urging by my audio guy, I started a free month with Qobuz… I cancelled my Tidal subscription within days.

I'm a new and happy Qobuz user. It took a couple of weeks to get the cabling right on my streamer but it's a very good source. I'm listening to Hans Zimmer-Blade Runner right now and it's blowing me out of the room with the volume just at a very low to moderate level.
