Qobuz vs idagio vs primaphonic


What is the best streaming service for classical music in terms of content, quality and reliability ? 
I have Aurender and node for streaming. Currently have tidal which works well but content seems lacking.

I have tried Tidal and Qobuz. I found sound quality the same. However, I prefer Qobuz for several reasons.
  • It remembers what genres I like, and doesn't come up with a hip-hop home page every time
  • Offers ability to purchase downloads at reasonable prices
  • Search for classical works better than Tidal did
  • Better metadata for classical (composer, etc.) than Tidal
  • Fewer tracks labeled simply "Allegro molto" or such, without the name of the work or composer
I don't know about the other two.
Qobuz has many complete operas.

I have never had a problem with gaps between tracks using Qobuz. If others are, perhaps it is setup or equipment.

  • In one system, I use the Qobuz app on a Windows computer via USB to a DAC.
  • In the other system, I use a DLNA control point (BubbleUPnP) to access my Qobuz subscription and send music URLs to the renderer (Auralic Aries G1) connected by Ethernet to my home network.
I also use Qobuz on my phone and never have noticed any gaps, an issue I've rather sensitive to.
