Tidal or Qobuz


Many say Qobuz sounds better than Tidal, not Jay.

Interesting that multiple people report opposite conclusions on which one sounds better. Maybe this is due to personal preferences in sound or, as @nyev mentioned, there could be other variables at play. Maybe differences in hardware, internet service, upsampling in Roon, gain within the streaming software, data centers, etc. are playing a part?

@sfpeloton human nature will make people say the one they like sounds best.

This is an old thread.  Since I posted before, Tidal has changed owners and may no longer be pushing rap on all of the subscribers.

I did a detailed comparison a couple years ago and concluded Qobuz sounded the best... as well as having over half a million high resolutions albums vs only a tiny fraction at Tidal.

Sounds like the clicking is in your equipment. I have never heard any clicks on any of my streamers.
