Qobuz vs Airplay

Airplay is appropriate for low fidelity portable devices where there is no other option. It is extremely unreliable, low fidelity, and I believe lossy. 

Qobuz is the best of the high end streaming services... Tidal is not quite as good. It is important to stream natively from your streamer. You want to use Qobuz. In my system Qobuz’s sound quality is the same or better than from my $45K Vinyl rig or CD

@ghdprentice Your comments about Apple Music are dated by years. I respect you  a lot but on this one your comments are not quite accurate. Off more than a couple of degrees.

I’m not sure I’d discount Apple Music. They do provide hi-res but not wireless to dac for you need a cable such as AudioQuest DragonFly. Apple does not put out inferior products. Steaming companies see that and are incorporating Apple in their products. That being said I’m sticking with Qubuz and Tidal. Just do not want to spend the time and money to analyze differences. If any, differences are not going to be by wide margin. Apple Music has the largest collection of tracks. Steve Jobs went to the record companies and told them about his idea of streaming individual songs. They “strongly” did not like the idea. Jobs being the visionary won out. Yes, he was thinking of portable devices but that was years ago. Apple is not going to let the HIFI industry by pass them. We can thank Jobs for where we are at today in regards to streaming. I’m a hard core Apple fan. Phones, IPads, watch and Mac and of course Apple Music.
