Same here - only my memory ain’t what it used to be. That does bring back a memory of my former college roommate who DJ’d on the college station back then who invited me to bring in a pile of ECM to spin once. Ah! The carefree pre-digital days!

Spin as in Ralph Towner and Egberto Gismonti, or Art Ensemble of Chicago and Leo Smith, or maybe Keith Jarrett. And then there was:

What was the old pricing?
I’m a subscriber to the Studio Premier plan and pay once a year, but can’t remember how much I paid…
You may wish to refer to the fans of Qobuz thread, which announces the change as well.
Pretty sure that’s this thread, weed.

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.
