Qobuz and Tidal comparison

@bobbyloans 

I have a Sonore streamer mainlined via ethernet.  But still get these “pauses” via Roon.  I think it is, meta data updates, as best I can tell.  I have lots and lots of tracks.  When Roon wants to update, it updates. Which is different that the pauses I am talking about. Now that I think abut it, it probably has nothing to do with Tidal vs. Qobuz.  I think it is all about Roon.  Sorry for the confusing question.

Qobuz sounded more detailed and organic on my systems based on the same tracks at the same volume levels. Cancelling Tidal and going with Qobuz was a no-brainer decision.

I had Qobuz but cancelled it and went back to tidal. Too many dropouts and software issues. I have very few issues with tidal and they also dropped the price. I’ll stick with tidal. 

I prefer Qobuz, sonically.  I can hear little if any difference between their streams and my stored tracks of the same music.  Like others here, I find their presentation crisper and more lively than Tidal.

Agreed and no drop out issues.  I’d still lol at the fact that maybe they have higher resolution and your equipment and streaming needs to handle that …  This is only an option
