Qobuz vs. Tidal


Greetings to all,

I'm sure this has been asked before. Which do you prefer and why? Qobuz customer service is worse than terrible. Is Tidal CS any better? 

What about selection? 

Thank you!

... With the level of tech today you wouldn’t think it’d be too hard to have someone fairly easily implement a decent search function ...

That's a function of the software you're using to stream Qobuz, e.g. Conductor if you're using an Aurender, or perhaps Volumio if you're using a Raspberry Pi.

@cleeds I wasn’t using software, just direct on the Qobuz site.  It just sucks. Period. 

Don’t have search issues with Tidal, Qobuz, Roon or Auender Conductor 4. 
What are the examples of an issue you’re running into with search?

I liked it better than Tidal as I can get a year membership and not have to deal with monthly charges.

No issues with searches, and I like much of the music it will pick out after my album ends.

I tried them both and could not tell a difference in SQ so I went with The Qobuz cause I didn't care for the history of Tidal the way it came to be.

I have used both Tidal and Qobuz over the past 6 months streaming through my Aurender N 200.  Both work well and no hiccups on Conductor with either streaming service.  Based on my music preference - jazz, female vocals, R&B - I am finding Qobuz to offer a wider selection.  To be honest I can't tell the difference in sound quality between the two.  

Re the pronunciation of Qobuz -  its " Kow - buhz "   At least thats how I am pronouncing it!
