I also use Qobuz and like it. I had TIDAL on a free trial last year and didn't like it at all. My internet speed is very poor, so I had to restrict streaming to 16/44.1, but after a recent fibre upgrade, I am now able to stream 24/96 'High Resolution' files as well ( on my Transporter and Touch) I have a Transporter, a Squeezebox Classic, a Touch and a 'Boom' radio. Most listening is done with my Transporter. I did try a very expensive streamer- Auralic Aries G2- but sent it back, as it was no better than my 13 year old Transporter! I am not entirely convinced about 'High Res' files, but some releases are only available in this format on Qobuz. Some 'standard' 16/44.1 FLAC sounds better than 24/96, but sometimes the opposite is true, so it's good to have both options. In the end, I think the sound quality has far more to do with mixing/mastering than whether it is 16/44 or 24/96. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iwalker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13004 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113864
