News: Qobuz Hi-Res platform's debut is scheduled for this October. See Qobuz Links below


I have been looking for information on Qobuz for many months and finally was able to get some useful information about its "scheduled" release date, information on who is working at Qobuz, some features and other background information.   I will add additional information as I get it.  Please see:

Some Qobuz Features are:
Over 40 million 16/44 tracks and over 2 million high-resolution tracks up to 24/192 bit high resolution.

You can actually off-line any album or track onto your computer, phone and many servers. So if your Internet is not up to full 24/192 streaming, but you need to have a perfect demo, you can download unlimited playlists and albums in high resolution.

@lalitk  I am relieved that Qobuz will have Roon integration. That was the big news for me.
Their catalog is different than Tidal's and will suit some more than others based on which genres and regions of the world music scene folks prefer.

@uberwaltz  I will definitely be beta testing and pitting one service against the other, IF Qobuz / Roon is a viable option for my front end components.
There should be a ton of Ko Buzz by end of the week.

I'd wait another week before deciding to trial.
