Qobus or Tidal which do you recomend
Currently I have neither Tidal, Qubos not Spotify. But thinking about getting either Tidal or Qobus.
Is there any real difference between Qobus or Tidal? Personally I was thinking about Qobus Hifi. The sublime + seems a bit expensive.
Any tips.
I use a Auralic Aries LE as streamer.Pre amp: Ocatve Phono Module Power amps: Octave MRE130 Turntable: SAC Girati Grande.

Re: Qobus or Tidal which do you recomend
I have both Qobuz and Tidal at the moment (through my Aurender N10 which has the MQA update, I don't have a MQA DAC).
The High-res files in Qobuz are not better or worse then the Tidal MQA files. (maybe a full MQA DAC might change that)
Overall I don't have a real preference, both are reliable, Qobuz has some more classical music content.

Re: Qobus or Tidal which do you recomend
If and when Qoboz gets integrated into Roon then and only then will I consider it as a viable option.

Re: Qobus or Tidal which do you recomend
Searching classical music in Tidal is certainly demanding. Often I have to do separate searches of performer, conductor, album and/or composer names to dig out what I’m looking for. Just searching, for example, “Vasks” won’t give me everything by the Latvian composer. If Qobuz nails this then I may have to switch, though I’d lose the fun of the hunt.

Re: Qobus or Tidal which do you recomend
Yeah, you always have to drill down with Tidal. You just never know which bit to use. I don't know how many times I finally found an album on the search of a fourth or fifth piece of info, whereas if there was adequately thorough metadata any combo of two of those data points should have resulted in the title sought. So I guess I'm hoping Qobuz has more thorough metadata?

Re: Qobus or Tidal which do you recomend
I just got a monthly Qobus Studio subscription. If I like it I might switch to a yearly subscription.
