From personal experience they are not the quickest in responding but they usually do within 48 Hours.I will for sure give it another try.

The guy whoms address you send me answered, although I have to say honestly that I so far had not written only the one email to the general ios qobuz address. He asked some questions and did not get all the facts right.That's strange... I'm PM'ing you the email of the Qobuz iOS team member who got back to me. If you still don't get a response, then I think it's safe to say their customer service has gone downhill massively...
Short update on the Qobuz matter.
Qobuz published a new Android version and this works on my Sony NW-ZX2. So this a great step forward. Very happy.
Let's give them some time to work out all the bugs They'll be launching in the US soon and to compete with market leaders like Spotify, Apple & Tidal, they'll have to seriously step up their game...Regarding the buggy import function he wrote to me:
“You are right, and we are working on this functionnality. You should see some serious improvements on the following updates.”
Hello! I'm glad you're enjoying Qobuz and thanks for letting us know that the iOS app is better now!Hi,
I've subscribed the Sublime+ offer and I enjoy streaming hi-res music on the go.
Here in Europe Qobuz is the first and only provider to let stream hi-res 24/192 music, even Tidal don't have this I think.
Of course you need a big mobile phone data plan and to live in a 4G/LTE area, but it's quite common now.
Since the first days of 2018, Qobuz has released an update for its apps and it's quite better now, less laggy and buggy.
I really enjoy it as I was using Apple Music before but I first listen to classical music and on this Qobuz is much richer.
I hope some other streaming services will soon begin to have hi-res plans too, I mean more than 16/44 that can have today Deezer and Tidal.
I would enjoy an Apple Music hi-res plan to fit my iPhone
Hmm, do you have any evidence to support this? It could've been a bug that later got fixed in an update. If you go through @Richter Di's posts in this thread, he also faced a similar issue where his hi-res purchases were getting downloaded as 16 bit. This issue was fixed in the latest update. I unsubscribed just 3 months back and in the time that I was subscribed, I never encountered the issue you mentioned.I switched from Qobuz to Tidal about a year ago when I noticed that not all the Qobuz albums were lossless and sometimes just a few tracks were lossless on an album shown as lossless and the rest mp3.

Thanks for the update, Richter! Sooo tempted to re-subscribe, but I need to wait till I upgrade my gearI never encountered this problem.
Sometimes when the Android App on my Sony NW-ZX2 auto-updated (which I now have stopped) it also changed the settings to MP3 streaming. I only find out when I saw the MP3 symbol while streaming. So I had to change back.
At the moment my iOs version is relatively stable with the exception of the playlist function "import rest" when it starts to import everything new and gets a hick up. Also deleting then the download que does not work properly. I have to delete each track by hand because the function abort the rest of the downloads does not work.
Since I re-downloaded an older Android version for my Sony I am quite happy as it works flawless.
That's true, but it seems to be more a right problem than technical. I've seen it on some tracks, when playing it displays something like "we don't have the rights to play this in hi-res" and it plays cd or mp3 instead, or even sometimes it only plays a 45 sec extract with the same rights message.I switched from Qobuz to Tidal about a year ago when I noticed that not all the Qobuz albums were lossless and sometimes just a few tracks were lossless on an album shown as lossless and the rest mp3.
4. The Qobuz android App is unseless for my Sony NW-ZX2. It crashes all the time. And using Qobuz was the sole reason for buying the Sony NW-ZX2 and not its successor. So this really is hard to chew on.

Tidal do offer (some) 24/192, compressed into MQA (marketed at "Masters", for $20/mth). Tidal's hi-res albums are more likely 24/96 (also MQA) - not so many at 192k.Here in Europe Qobuz is the first and only provider to let stream hi-res 24/192 music, even Tidal don't have this I think.

Can anyone give an indication as to the current relative availability of hi-res streaming (not downloading) at Qobuz and Tidal?
