Qobuz or Apple Music?


Which service do you use?  Are they close in sound quality, or do you prefer one over the other?  

Thank you for your thoughts.

Tidal allows my family to enjoy music even though are not audiophiles. I am still in battle of Qobuz and why I cannot get hires without skipping or pauses.

Different day, same results, most prefer Qobuz. I will repeat that Q on $12.99  plan sounds flat to me, no depth. Tidal on $9.99 plan has so much more depth, not even close. Also a little wider soundstage. So I had both and dumped Q. Can't talk of their upper plans since I am limited to streaming on android via wifi setting. So whatever works best in your application is my answer. You can get nearly free trials with both.

Now that Apple Music is doing 24/192 lossless, it’s much much better.  Having said that, I’ll have to give Qobuz another try.

It’s certainly not convenient to get the 24/192 lossless into your amp though.

@m_j_s Curious, how is it not convenient? That should be handled seamlessly between your streamer and dac...no?
