But many of them have Qobuz! To hell with that. Don’t knock what we’ve built in Canada thus far, because I can point to a vast mess of national markets that I love visiting but are nowhere I’d ever want to live.

There are rules and regulations in place that encourage broadband product suppliers to enter the Canadian market nationally, not just the Vancouver-Toronto-Montreal big city markets. In the global scheme of things, Canada is a small market in population that occupies a vast geographical territory. Qobuz is burning through cash and can’t seem to turn a profit, yet the grass-is-greener-on-the-other-side-of-the-fence crowd spends half its time mewling about TIDAL and pining for Qobuz. and European markets it already occupies. Right now, Qobuz is concentrating on strengthening service in the U.S. Do some reading on the subject instead of knocking Canada over tired old tropes that have little substance. Qobuz will expand into Canada when it’s good and ready. Plus, we all need to work just a little bit harder on not whining about first world problems. It's been out here in the UK for years and I've trialled Qobuz at least once a year and there's been no visible improvement on the above in the 3-4 years I've used it.Ĭlick to expand.You’re making up complete and utter nonsense. Honestly there's a lot of online hype for Qobuz but I'm convinced that is all over-excited US consumers as it's relatively new there. Do you want a good experience or a bad one where 1% of the catalogue is available as hi-res? but they all have their issues/limitations. Yes there's hi-res on Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon, Deezer etc. You're better off with Tidal if you want a lossless streaming service, don't get too hung up on hi-res streaming. No personalised recommendations based on your tastes/listening habits, Qobuz reckons there's only 12 genres in the world of music, The app and web interfaces are garbage (not an issue if you have Roon I suppose), There's loads of tracks you'll hit that turn out to be 30s sample tracks that are purchase only, That said Qobuz is not great as a service, yes they do good quality losslesss streaming but. Most likely legal contracts and infrastructure limitations.
