Qobuz music not y queued2/26/2024 But I couldn’t hear any difference between a higher bitrate track on Qobuz vs the lower bitrate one on Tidal, so didn’t consider it as a differentiator. Roughly about 10% of the time I came across tracks that were available at a higher bitrate on Qobuz. Qobuz rarely had the artist and album names mixed up, and dated or inaccurate cover art. Picked random tracks and checked for cover art & metadata against official artist websites/google. This is a bummer! Album Art & Metadata: Tidal Couldn’t find about 8% of the tracks on Qobuz. Transferred over 3000 tracks from Tidal to Qobuz with SongShift on iOS. Test Playlist: About 100 tracksīlues, Jazz, Vocal, Acoustic, Folk, New Age, Classic, Dance, Lounge, Country, Electronic, R&B, Instrumental, Rock, Metal, Orchestra, Pop, and Regional. This way I could easily switch between tracks to do an AB test. I select a track on Qobuz and use the “Play Next” option to add the Tidal track to the queue. I added the same test tracks to favorites on both Tidal and Qobuz and these show up at one place on the A+ iOS app. The comparison was done via Audirvana Plus on an upgraded MacMini (details in sigature). If you are in similar shoes then try both services for yourself and decide what works best for you. **Please note my observations are subjective and the choice is dependant on the system and personal preference. With some feedback from fellow FMs, I got to testing. I was wondering if I should make a switch to Qobuz after being with Tidal for over 2 years.
