Amazon music vs Qobuz


I’m currently using Qobuz for streaming music. Amazon music is considerably less than Qobuz but I’m wondering what the differences are. Amazon goes on and on about commercial free music. Which makes me wonder how much is commercial free. Qobuz is 100% commercial free.

@tgilb Steve Stone did a comparison of several streaming services I think on The Absolute Sound a couple years ago and found Amazon to be sub par compared to Qobuz and others.  I prefer the AMZN interface, but as sound quality is my priority I stick with Qobuz.  I’d suggest doing a free trial and see what you think. Lots of hi-res stuff along with CD-quality content.

Thanks for referencing the AS review. I’ll check it out and have thought about giving Qobuz a try with their free trial as you stated to see if I can even notice the difference in SQ. Not sure if my ears are that refined.

With that said I have never really thought the quality on Amazon was lacking and have a number of times compared its sound to CD’s and LP’s. Also, when I have the time to sit down for a serious listening session I usually prefer to listen to LP’s that I do find to sound superior.
