![]() I use Roon for home and UAPP on Android for mobile and both are supported in each- so a draw (but Spotify etc arent, hence I choose between these 2)Ĥ. Does it integrate well with your chosen playback infrastructure. Does it offer the file type/ quality you wish to have ? There are multiple threads discussing Hi res, MQA the pros and cons of each- I would suggest this criteria should actually be the least of your considerations if one goes into listening blind.ģ. Does it have significant gaps in content for your preferred styles of music (for me, Tidal has less gaps than Qobuz- but we are talking around 100 albums out of around 5000 total)Ģ. I think a sane approach to choosing a streaming service (including these 2) should focus on a few things:ġ. I thought I'd never be able to stop hunting down bargain & used CDs and SACDs to rip but since I subscribed to Qobuz I didn't buy a single disc! It's the first music subscription service that I've stuck with and also think is great value. Qobuz deliver! OK sometimes the metadata is totally messed up or inadequate but they have a fabulous catalogue and let you stream it losslessly via UPnP/DLNA (their Android app lets you share the stream to other apps, and also BubbleUPnP and UAPP have official plugins which give full access via your account sign in). Again, I'm not interested in paying premium rates for sub CD sound. Primephonic is fabulous for curation and really understanding the music and delivering it with accurate and usable metadata, but their service is impossible to use with DLNA/UPnP so it's stuck on your mobile device or restricted to screen casting and downsampling & bit depth reduction. Spotify is interesting for its huge catalogue but I really have no desire to pay for lossy compression. I listen to all kinds of music but "Classical" is the big one for me. I haven't tried Tidal but I have tried Spotify, Primephonic & Qobuz.
