I use Qobuz, and to my ears, the sound quality is really good. I hear no difference between Qobuz and locally stored FLAC files. I certainly don't experience any lack of liveliness (reported on Tidal by ears I trust).
Wow that is really good to know Eric. Thanks!
I have Qobuz in Ipeng so will give that a go too and report back. I actually quite like the idea of Qobuz Sublime since I tend to buy quite a lot of 24bit material. Would pay for itself or certainly subsidise some of my online purchases.
