You might consider the WiMP streaming service as well. It offers lossless streaming like Qobuz. They are more in the contemporary music and they do offer a lot more albums than the Qobuz-service, all lossless, like it should. 2 and a halve million albums I was told.
Today I attended a demo with Qobuz and WiMP on an Auralic Aries streamer bridge, at Wifimedia in Arnhem (The Netherlands). I also heard again that the Qobuz streamingservice is in financial troubles and might go banktupted in a few months. I would regret that a lot, I must say. They do very well in classical music.
So I would consider WiMP in stead of downgrading to Spotify. Karel

Thanks for the tip, Karel. I'll be keeping an eye out if and when WiMP come to the Netherlands.
Although I must say, for me it's more about ease of use than sound quality when to comes to streaming services. And I really do hope Qobuz can get out of financial troubles, because I feel that is the main reason they are not developing their apps

Yeah, great shop Wifimedia. Bought 2 NAS's >10 Harddrives and a few video streamers there. Quite knowledgeable and friendly.

Small update: I realized that I haven't listened to Qobuz since opening this thread. So with that in mind I just cancelled my subscription with Qobuz. I'll give Spotify a try. I can always go back to Qobuz.
