I'm also one of those classical music users. Qobuz is probably the service to choose in our case, but they do have their shortcomings. Google Music works great for all types of music, but is not lossless, so we'll have to wait and see who best serves the classical crowd in the future. Wimp/Tidal

I have had Wimp/Tidal Hifi for a while now, lossless streaming is a good thing. But content - to me - is even more important. With Tidal the selection of classical music is rather limited. Actually so limited, that it is more like a service for someone who once in a while wants to listen to
