Auralic Aries vs Aurender X100 vs Melco N1Z

I have no experience with Tidal, but my audiophile friends in the Netherlands report that it sounds not as good as their locally stored 16/44 FLAC files. 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.

Cheers

Guillaume

I concur. I tried both Qobuz and Tidal on my Macbook plus Air WiFi and for my ears Qobuz sounds better. Also Tidal suffers from more drop outs.
