I cannot tell you about Tidal or Deezer. In my setup I'm able to compare Qobuz streaming with flac's on the Sonos Connect (modified by Magna Hifi) and Qobuz streaming with my HTPC (Windows8.1+SSD) and the Qobuz desktop app running on it via Air ethernet. I do prefer the last combination SQ-wise. I'm lucky I can say that Air is running without glitches in my situation (one of the happy few).
They are close in quality, I must say, but I definitely prefer the Air connection. The Sonos upgrade by Magna Hifi to 'Ultimo' level made quite a difference I must say. It was worth every penny/Euro. Cheers, ChM
