Qobuz Users Update?


the service in the USA has been out a few months now. initial posters on this site commented on good sound quality in hi rez but a limited catalogue. I listen mostly to Jazz and Classical. Would anyone who has been a user from the get go please comment on your experience? I've been a Tidal guy for years and am fairly satisfied. Thanks to anyone taking the time to comment

I had TIDAL for about 6 months and signed up for Qobuz went it went live in the U.S. I listen mostly to classical and jazz. I think Qobuz sounds better, but my Naim NDX2 doesn’t support MQA (and probably never will) so with TIDAL Studio I only get the first unfold using Roon DSP. I have no desire to step in that festering pile of MQA anyway. Qobuz -> Roon -> NDX2 sounds great, even with 16/44.1 tracks.

Anyway, happy with Qobuz so far and feel like I’m getting my money’s worth.

I’m currently running Roon on a 2012 Mac Mini i7 with 1TB Samsung EVO SSD, but am looking at building out a NUC8i7 for Roon ROCK.
