Great playlist! I saw Moderat last time they were here in Brooklyn. I love Gregory Porter, Lorde, Grace Jones, Beck, and some Of Kendrick Lamar's stuff.

I've had my GT for over a week now. I love it. The sound is much better than the orignal version. I like the looks of the original more though.

This is really great! Thank you for doing this. I also really appreciate the descriptions of why you chose the tracks you did.

That is so interesting, I will check out some tracks on your list this week, we are designing a huge speaker system at the moment, that should be fun

Great list. I like tracks from Thomas Bergerson as well for test purposes.

Great playlist—thanks for sharing.

I couldn’t find any Qobuz playlists either, so I went ahead and created one (HEDD Reference Tracks). Please let me know when HEDD’s official version on Qobuz is available, and I’ll happily remove mine.

Here’s a link to my personal go-to playlist for testing gear or just enjoying a fun listen: Audio Alchemist: Gear Test

There’s a bit of overlap between my playlist and HEDD’s, which I see as a good sign—maybe a few of my tracks will come in handy for you as well.

You guys are amazing, do I read between the lines, that we need to create a Qobuz account?
