DSD coming to Qobuz streaming?

It looks like DSD files will soon stream on Qobuz - this may take some of the wind out of the sails of HDTracks and MQA. Some DSD recordings are already available for download, such as this classic from Boston.

I checked with Qobuz directly and was told there will be "an official announcement soon."

The Boston album linked to is shown in CD quality, and if you select the option to buy the album download it only shows availability in CD quality.

DSD files are significantly larger than high res PCM, so this is quite the achievement! Thanks for letting us know!

It is now, but that wasn't the case previously. I think Qobuz may have jumped the gun in advance of the "announcement."
