![]() ![]() Switch off the volume normalisation in both and see if that holds true for you. 88.2 and 96 is the only way they output on the software decoder, no matter the intended original rate. Whether they are supposed to be played back at 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96 and so on. Beware anyone saying one sounds better than the other. When using the software decoder on Tidal without MQA hardware, it will report as 88.2 or 96 for 44.1/48 base rate files, respectively. Personally, I would trial both free with my particular use cases and see which suits best. Of the small minority of my music that isnt on services, slightly more are missing from Qobuz than Tidal but ymmv in that regards (Spotify better than both).Īt the point when Tidal makes its connect feature available on PC- so I can control playback from my phone to PC, then to EQ and onto the DAC I will likely ditch amazon too. Tidal still integrates better into Roon IME and into UAPP than qobuz. I kept them both up for three years when it dawned on me one day that I only ever used Tidal on the rare occasions they had a piece of music I couldn’t find on Qobuz. And Qobuz has much more of the music I like than Tidal. I currently have both Qobuz and Tidal and I honestly have a difficult time hearing a difference between fully decoded MQA w/ a SMSL M500 and Qobuz Hi-Res, I’ve done A/B tests on multiple tracks from both services via Audirvana. Using the the hifi (lossless tier - I have no need of MQA. I subscribe to Qobuz, but found myself not using it that much because something. Even with a DAC that fully unfolded MQA, I didn’t hear any better sound than I got from Qobuz’s hi-res offerings. Hello, this is a just a opinion based on my personal experience with the sound quality of both Tidal and Qobuz. assuming you have reasonably resolving equipment. I was interested to see if you had any DSP options turned on, also do you only have Tidal or also Qobuz, different people have different thoughts on Tidal vs Qobuz and MQA vs CD or hi res. Comparing Tidal MQA to Qobuz hi-res, you -will- hear degredation/loss in the high frequencies (violins in an orchestra etc) on MQA. It’s worth noting that in both cases, hi-res titles make up a small percentage, estimated at less than 10, of their. While the Tidal and Qobuz hi-res libraries are not identical, we see Qobuz adding new hi-res titles every week. ![]() I now use Amazon music for listening through a PC -dac-amp rig (EAPO for headphone eq on the PC) and back to Tidal for using on mobile rig - it plays well with the Android UAPP rig, again for the EQ. Tidal MQA vs Qobuz hi-res My brief experience. If you want unadulterated hi-res streaming, skipping MQA’s special sauce to quote Neil Young, Qobuz is for you. ![]()
