However, by now I hear in direct comparison a slight advantage of Qobuz in the heights. For me, specifically cymbals and hi-hat are more defined and velvety in most tracks I compared over the last two days. But, I'm not yet sure if it is placebo as I'm switching between the tracks in Spark myself and therefore am not blinded. So, any other opinion?
Tidal integration is working superbly on my silver phantoms, very impressed with SQ.
One issue is there seems to be no way to store a playlist or favorites from the Spark app and when you sign in not all your lists are brought over?
I hope the work on this as I am pretty much addicted to Tidal and what it has opened up for me in new listening experiences.
IMO crystalline highs and tonal separation plus earth shaking tuneful bass much better than my martin Logan Theos and Goldmund amp

From a more technical standpoint Tidal behaves better in Spark. Using the slider to jump forward or backward in a track takes 2-8s in Qobuz until Spark finds the position and plays whereas Tidal is almost instananeous, less than 1s. From a usability point a clear winner.
Regarding dropouts Tidal has from time to time (maybe 10-20 times per hour) very short data loss, few milliseconds interrupts that make the stereo image disturbed, not so in Qobuz.
For now Qobuz is still my personal winner unless I can proof myself wrong with respect to the better SQ in the hights.
