Spin as in Ralph Towner and Egberto Gismonti, or Art Ensemble of Chicago and Leo Smith, or maybe Keith Jarrett. And then there was: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/psaudio/original/3X/8/7/8713628ae6ca4248719a17003bce842a114da957.jpeg) ---

I switched over to the annual Studio Premier in July and paid $149.99 (US). That plan is now (I think) $129.99. ---

At those prices the Innuos should be incredible versus a BlueSound. ---

When I switched over to the Studio Premier plan and paid the annual charge of 129.99, I was paying a monthly of 14.99 (annual = 179.88). On top of that savings, Qobuz gave me a $7 credit. Sweet! ---

It’s a value proposition. The BlueSound is very good for what it does at its price. ---

I have a Bluesound and I agree it is very good considering the cost. I was really alluding to the Innuos; at that cost it should be miles better than the Bluesound. Is it ? ---

I do use Roon and in that combination Tidal was set for the first few years. Before that, I already had a Qobuz subscription for a year or two, but switched to Tidal because of the missing Roon integration. From a music experience, this was a step down, because Tidal was more focused on Pop, Hip-Hop or in general Hit-music played on popular radio stations. For years, I was begging Qobuz to partner with Roon and to provide a proper Roon integration. When it finally became available, the switch back to Qobuz was a no-brainer. I always felt that Qobuz is run by music enthusiasts and I really love their editorial service. That’s for me the main benefit. Their focus is quality and as a result Qobuz is highlighting tons of great quality recordings. And this is what matters for me, when running a HiFi system. It’s just difficult to find good recordings, which make your hairs stand-up. ---

Qobuz is no longer as cost-effective as Tidal. The sound quality is similar, but I still prefer Tidal. ---

In my setup and to my music taste Qobuz is superior in sound quality and range. I had Deezer and Tidal before. Also HiRes-Titles have been highly increased in the repertoire of Qobuz over the last months … ---

I switched from Tidal to Qobuz about 3 years ago and never looked back. Qobuz gives me true Hi-Res without all the folding and stapling that Tidal does, or did at the time. ---

Yeah, the same here. I only ever used Tidal on free trials and when they started shilling for mqa, I shut them out from any future consideration. Their native app also had terrible search functionality. I can’t see them lasting much longer.
