100+ Head-Fier
I've been with Tidal since 2015 and I realize it's nowhere near the best quality I could get but I'm a sucker for convenience and all my music is on all my devices automatically. Anyways, I had heard several times that Qobuz was somehow better, so I signed up for the free trial and listened to 3 pieces of modern pop that I have heard 10,000 times and have memorized. Horrifying. Qobuz has somehow completely stripped any semblance of dynamic range from the music and boosted everything to 11, I assume so as to artificially amplify the quiet sounds in the music and make non-audiophiles think they're hearing a more resolving piece of music. I was absolutely horrified and cancelled my trial after about 10 minutes of listening. I also took a pot shot at Qobuz on their FB page. Definitely NOT a service for audiophiles. How can anyone possibly like Qobuz?
