Disturbances like hiccups or failing connection are really seldom heard. I did some testing between my own cd rips as flac's and the streaming. Mostly I (or my guests) cannot tell the differences between the two. I'm streaming via a Qobuz desktop app and via the AIR ethernet connection.

In my signature you can find my setup. Qobuz is always first downloading the track in a cache on the harddisk; in my case on a SSD on my HTPC. This might have some effect on the music quality. I often read that a SSD is better then a spinning harddisk, causing less jitter. Qobuz is also offering the possibility of bitperfect (wasapi), at least on a Windows pc. When playing a album Qobuz is playing gapless.

If I really do like a CD I like to download it if a version in highres is available. Highres is mostly sounding a bit better then the 44.1/16 version.

I also appreciate the possibility of downloading for offline use. Being mostly a classical music lover I think Qobuz has a lot to offer. Their ID-tagging is mostly very good and usually I can easily find the music I'm looking for. And it helps me to discover all kinds of other music, some of us (I.E. Eddye) call it 'contemporary'. Qobuz is opening my eyes in this regard.

I think Qobuz is still offering the possibility of a testing period of one month, free of charge. So why don't you give it a try to find out if it will satisfy you.

Cheers, ChM
I agree!

They are really good. My only concern is that I read somewhere that they are in financial trouble and I'm afraid they may go out of business

Thanks. I wasn't aware of a free trial month. So I will give it a try.
