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
Thanks - this is the answer I was looking for. . .
A side comment on Qobuz vs Tidal/Deezer Elite. I have used all three and found Qobuz sound quality noticeably better. Particularly with the kind of music I listen to - jazz and classical - I could easily tell which I preferred (Qobuz). However, it suffers the same problem that Tidal has. . .lots of missing music from their catalog.
