    Qobuz

    Thanks T64 - I appreciate your perspective. UPDATE from my last input almost 1 year ago: After living with Qobuz (and still Deezer) for the last year I have not changed my mind - Tidal's sound is of lesser quality in, 'my' system - your mileage may vary. Again, system is NAD M33 out to...

    Why I don't think Spotify HiFi is coming any time soon (and why it doesn’t matter)

    So if that's the case, try Deezer. Upside = cheap, reliable, very, very large catalogue, pays the artists more than Spotify and all streams are available as a CD quality 16 -bit, 44.1khz option. Downside = Deezer has no comparable connect feature as good as Spotify, however this is only an...

    Deezer

    Totally different view, I think because of different circumstances perhaps. Have just signed signed for the 30 day HI Fi version trial - 5 days in so far and it's fantastic. Being in Australia the only other streaming service we have available with more than mp3 quality is Tidal - I tried them...
