Can't you manage your own library? I ain't shelling out for that.
Qobuz Trial
I'm a longtime Apple Music subscriber but, on a whim, decided to try out Qobuz to see what all the fuss is about. For digital, I do my listening primarily through my Macbook pro and iPhone, in either case run through my JDS Labs Element II to Senn HD-660 S. I queued up Art Blakey's Moanin' on both platforms, listening first to Apple Music, then to Qobuz, then back to Apple Music. It's always that last step where I feel the differences come out. And boy did they. When I went back to Apple music on the third listen, I almost ripped off my cans in shock. It was so jarring. I had my wife do some blind listening and she consistently chose Qobuz, describing it as rounder and flatter. So now I'll have two streaming services, though I swore I'd never be that guy.
Apple music is vastly superior, especially on mobile, for library management and navigation, as well as discovery. I do hope Qobuz works on that.
