It’s all about who has the most channels and the monopoly. The Go Link is incredibly light at just 0.4 ounces, and small enough even with one of the optional adapters to fit in that weird fifth jeans pocket that no one uses. Logically everyone would think hey I have a streaming subscription so I want to enjoy this on a stereo hifi or headphones.īut unfortunately they don’t think that way, neither Spotify, nor Amazon. A lot more people would switch to digital and probably promote the audio industry a bit better and buy less of the typical throwaway products. It’s a shame that most providers refuse to help with software.Īnd that’s only because of the greed for profit.Įven if they cost money, they would easily make it back when you hear that something has been done. The MQA indicator is the same whether the original file is high-resolution or if it is just an upsampled 44.1kHz standard resolution file. TIDAL does not indicate the sample rate of the original file (but Roon does within the track description). There are some things that are really bad but also good. Most MQA releases on TIDAL are from a 44.1kHz master and not a high-resolution file. If it’s part of it okay but that’s why I don’t pay any more voluntarily anyway, if I had to I would feel forced to cancel.Īt the end of the day, there’s so much on the net about streaming providers, how good and how bad they are. Mqa is just marketing anyway, maybe even more of a gimmick to pull money out of people’s pockets. Tidal offers 160Kbps in standard AAC quality, 1,411Kbps in FLAC lossless quality, and 2,304 to 9,216 Kbps in Master MQA high-res. Qobuz offers MP3 at 320 Kbps, CD quality at 16-bit/44.1 kHz, and high-resolution audio at 24-bit/up to 192 kHz. Since you pay for Audirvana as well as Roon, I would go with the cheapest provider, the rest is done better by one of the two programmes anyway, so why pay more when the performance is the same with the streaming providers? In comparison, the MQA format is considered a smaller file size with the same quality as the FLAC format. Nevertheless, the quality of the app under Windows is more than crappy with each provider when you look at it from a sound perspective.ĭepending on the provider, the menu navigation is even more crappy. Tidal definitely has the edge in the Qobuz vs Tidal catalog comparison. In Qobuz there are considerable gaps in catalogs. Tidal clearly has the larger number of albums and tracks but Quboz has the larger number of tracks on CD quality. Otherwise, yes, without Audirvana or Roon, there can be significant differences between the providers. Qobuz has a large library of hi-res music. I don’t think it makes a difference if you use Tidal or Qubozz with Audirvana.
