I did.

Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to give it a test run. I know I'm a little late to the party, but it's a long story :)
 
So far I’m loving Qobuz. Have not done any direct comparisons to Tidal but I’m getting a sense of increased 3D. It just feels a little more open and layered. Could be my imagination. :)
 
To my ears not your imagination at all. Plus the upper mid-range "grunge" I hear with Tidal is gone. I've thoroughly enjoyed my year and a half with Qobuz and not stuttering and dropouts. The catalog will continue to grow as they get more agreements in place with the labels it is just taking longer to negotiate than they initially thought. I am going to keep my UK account too for a while until the expansion is complete.
 
Yes, I agree, it’s definitely better overall and does not sound as digital. It’s a keeper.
 
Qobuz sounds awesome.

If you have a Studio subscription try the 23/192 Norah Jones album or the newest Santana release from last week.
 
Cool, thanks.

The Norah Jones album sounds superb.

I agree on what has been mentioned and gonna run both for a bit.

In either case there is more than enough material on both sites, that will take me to my grave.

I do love the MQA files on Tidal but I also love additional variety and normally higher resolution files on Qobuz.

It’s a wonderful time to be a music lover.
 
Links to some playlist that I found worth listening too. All of the Dave's Faves are playlist put together by David Solomon of Qobuz. Please add any other that you find worth sharing :D

Joe, are you using Roon with Qobuz?
If so, how does it integrate/work with Roon?

One concern that I have is transferring my playlist and albums from Tidal. Any thoughts on how to do that?

Roon 1.6 is supposed to be compatible. I have not tried yet, still using Qobuz directly from my Lumin U1 mini into my Bricasti.
