    Re: QoBuz cranks it up a notch

    Mike.......Happy days! I got the email about a half hour ago and just resubscribed to Qobuz. $14.99 a month beats the heck out of my old subscription rate of $24.99 a month. I had canceled both Tidal and Qobuz, but for this price I will stick with Qobuz.

    Listening to Qobuz right now. The 24/192 remaster of Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed sounds excellent.

    Re: QoBuz cranks it up a notch

    Just subscribed for a year and have it integrated with Roon; really liking it a lot so far.

    The classical library is amazing; just do a search for Rossini, for example.

    The iPhone app also sounds quite good, even on an iPhone 6S. There's also a lot of really good written content on the iPhone on the music, in a Roon-like way.

    First impressions are very positive.

    Re: QoBuz cranks it up a notch

    Just signed up tonight. Like what I hear so far. Pretty good selection of high res files. Not all of the music I listen to is on Qobuz, however. Might need both Tidal and Qobuz until their catalog grows.

    Just got into the standalone app for Mac OS, and the Qobuz interface looks just like Roon!

    Feel right at home...

    Re: QoBuz cranks it up a notch

    got the e-mail from qobuz with the news that they were dropping prices by ~50% ...how often does that happen !?

    been quite happy with the service and their library has filled out to the point where it is rare that something i am looking for is not there. switched over to the annual subscription.
