Qobuz and Tidal comparison

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.

I have both, and I’ve spent numerous hours comparing the two. In my experience/system, one doesn’t sound superior to the other across the board. Some tracks sound better via Tidal, and some tracks sound better via Qobuz. I find the differences in sound quality between Tidal and Qobuz to be negligible at best, so I use Tidal as my Roon default. Happy listening.

I have both Tidal and Qobuz running on my Aurender N200 and Vault 2i in sys 2.   They both sound excellent but I have to give the edge to Qobuz.   Tidal has some great live recordings which is why I keep it.
