Seven quid cheaper than TIDAL.
Just signed up.
Anyone else using it?

If I have to stream this is my preferred supplier if you like it's more akin to having a more realistic representation of the original recording. It's closer to original than the others, however you still get some of the more raw sound whereas TIDAL is more upperfrequency enhanced to give the impression of a more polished sound
It is quite interesting how all if the subscription services have their own house sound with Spotify being the least manipulated however they are all substantially better than internet radio

I only wished that the general public knew what total bast...ds amazon are, no one would touch them with a barge poll if they did.

I'll stick with Qobuz at £14.99/mo for hi-res and whose catalogue keeps getting richer every week. Sound quality is superb.

Hilarious Slinger . . . very surprised DB sells through them bearing in mind all his vitriolic posts. Tough one I guess if you run a business - can't live with them, can't live without them. |

I've seen folks post that Qobuz catalogue is only really any good for classical and jazz, but that's fine by me, jazz fan that I am (not).  I now regard Tidal as pretty poor; too many scrambled albums, and the sq isn't quite as good as Qobuz imo. Other CD-rez services don't have the classical music catalogue extent (or didn't last time I looked, a while ago now) and on my system anyway, Spotty is a long way behind on sq. I got Amazon on free trial a couple years ago when it sounded totally kerapp, so I'm probably not eligible to try again for a freebie and probably don't want one of their "eligible products" anyway. |

I don't understand the comments about Qobuz and catalogue. The range for rock, pop, blues and jazz, as well as classical, seems very comprehensive to me. It covers all my tastes, anyway.
Yesterday, I saw Patricia Barber's Modern Cool suddenly appear. I like that they keep adding back catalogue.

They can go to Tidal for the latest (c)rap, I'll stick with Qobuz! I spent a long time comparing Queerbuz SQ with TIDDLE a long time back. Amazed that they even sounded different, I used a USB port data capture utility and indeed they send differing info to the DAC. I preferred TIDAL's SQ. At the time the PC version of Qobuz's UI was quite frankly appalling. The TIDAL mobile app has always been very good. One strong reason I have stayed with it. Let's see how Amazon fare. |

I use Qobuz a lot on my phone, it's the source for 2 out of 3 of my headphone setups; the app works well for me.
Very pleased with Qobuz.

Yes, the Qobuz UI is not as good as Spotify and I do wish they would consolidate a last played list across my different devices.
The Qobuz phone app sounds excellent.

The Spotify phone app caused nothing but pure hate in me. It kept losing my library over and over again.
Long while back now. It has to be better these days.
Things have come a long way since The illegal Napster. At the time that was brilliant, though. It was new and such a cool idea.

OK TIDAL are fired.
Amazon Music lets you download content to your laptop hard drive and TIDAL never has. It's encrypted but that's fine.
That's massive for me as internet access is just shite here and will be for probably a couple of years.
There's a mass of Ultra HD content with no bullshit MQA decoding required. That's basically 24 bit 44.1 or above.
The catalogue content is massive. Noticeably much larger than TIDAL.
The PC application is superior.
The mobile app is OK too.
Bye, bye TIDDLE.

Never tried it before but I've just downloaded 2 albums and it seems to work OK. Out in the backwoods of deep Glos, the internet can get a bit dodgy here, too. |

If Amazon and Volunio ever get together on a plugin I might actually consider Amazon HD.
