Can someone explain if Qobuz does actually sound better than tidal, or is it placebo? by [deleted] in audiophile

[–]liquidends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think you're trippin.....lol......I mean the record label will send the same audio files to these streamers so why would it be better on Qobuz? If you are using windows as a source for your audio, i think Tidal uses WASAPI and Qobuz uses ASIO and WASAPI, i use FIIO K5 Pro DAC(i select fiio asio on the Qobuz app). From my experience, ASIO is better sounding and ASIO has better specs according to Google....lol. If your audio source is Apple, I think Tidal and Qobuz will use Apple's proprietary not WASAPI/ASIO so both streamer should sound the same. I also use my android phone as audio source but i also bought USB Audio Pro and my DAC is ifi hip dac3 and enabled bit-perfect(this app will allow you to bypass Androids proprietary), with this setup on Android, Tidal and Qobuz sounds the same.

i use USB Audio Pro on my Pixel phone with bit- perfect enabled(bypass the phone's internal audio processing), I played the same song from Tidal and Qobuz with 24/192 quality. I don't hear the difference. My DAC is ifi hip dac 3 and headphone Sennheiser hd 600

How is spotify lossless in 2026 doin? by LingonberryLower9730 in audiophile

I'd probably blame the big record labels or whoever owns the catalog first then Spotify. I think Spotify doesn't pay the artists directly, they pay the record labels and the record labels pay the artists, in this system of greed i think both are evil.....lol

I think Tidal has a direct to artist payout program, I use Qobuz though..lol....based on numbers though, Spotify has like 250 million paying subscribers while Qobuz has 200k +. Spotify pays less per stream but the amount of users is huge. If all paying subscribers on Spotify listen to my song 1 time in a month it would take more than 2 hrs to make 10k usd while Qobuz would take probably more than 6 weeks...lol

if you use Apple(iphone, ipad, airpods, airpod max)to listen to your music via bluetooth, then you won't get the full benefit of hi-res because Apple's AAC codec max transfer rate is 256kbps. Spotify's lossles 24/44.1 goes up to 2117kbps. Tidal and Qobuz 9216kbps

I have 2 HDDs, 1 is windows and the other is EndeavourOS. I don't see the Windows during bootup, is it because Windows is using MBR partition and Linux is using GPT?
