Qobuz review

Qobuz is built for people who listen closely. Every plan streams lossless audio, from CD quality at 16-bit/44.1 kHz up to Hi-Res FLAC at 24-bit/192 kHz, and Qobuz says it works in all its apps with no restrictions. The Studio plan starts at $10.83 a month, which is the price with annual billing, and comes in Solo, Duo, Family and Student versions; the Family plan covers up to six accounts for $17.99 a month. Sublime, from $14.99 a month, adds discounts of up to 60% on Hi-Res album purchases, which suits collectors who still want to own files. The catalog passes 100 million tracks, and weekly editorial articles and expert playlists add context that algorithm-led apps lack. The downsides are a plainer interface, fewer automatic mixes than Spotify, no free tier and a headline price that depends on paying for a year. For a hi-fi system, it is the strongest choice here.
