Since, I was already using BubbleUPnP and HQPlayer Embedded as UPnP renderer, it literally took me 15 seconds to get Qobuz up and running. All, I needed to do was enter my account information for Qobuz in BubbleUPnP and I was up and running. The other advantage that Qobuz has is if you like an album you can purchase it as flac file at discounted pricing depending on the subscription tier.
For example, one of the album that Tom had posted in the what are you listening to thread was "Love Is Here to Stay by Tony Bennett and Diana Krall" you can purchase that album in 24bit 96kHz format for 10 Great Britian Pounds or Rimsky-Kosakov Scheherazade, Op. The only reason for the GBP is due to my account being tied to UK based services. My assumption is that pricing will be similar in dollars once it is officially rolled out, since I have seen similar pricing for Euro.
QOBUZ 3 MONTH TRIAL LICENSE
I have been in communication with David Solomon who is one of the main guy trying to get Qobuz deployed in US (same guy who provided the license for the Oct. 27th event) and they plan to add the Deezer type of "flow" functionality in the future once they have US rollout completed. So what I am doing is I listen to Deezer on the phone leveraging flow and add any song that I like to a playlist, convert that playlist to Qobuz using Soundiiz, which helps me around the flow issue and listen to the same music in the basement. If Deezer does not release the API or start integrating better with streamers I will most likely not renew my subscription once it is up for renewal. If they do I might keep both, since there are instances where one service has.įor folks who have Bluesound you guys might be in the best position to do a head to head sound comparision, since all three service is supported on the device. If Bluesound allowed me to send the stream to UPnP renderer I would purchase it in a heart beat, just so I can integrate with HQPe better for both Deezer and Qobuz.The other great thing that this competition has caused - it's more affordable to get lossless streaming. Since Apple is introducing a lossless tier to Apple Music at no extra cost (an Apple Music subscription is $10/month), it's forced the hands of other streaming services. Tidal, Amazon Music HD, Deezer and Qobuz made their lossless streaming subscriptions cheaper. If you're interested in upping your music subscription so that you can listen to CD-quality (or better) audio, we've rounded up the lossless streaming services that will allow you to do just that.
