AudioDoctor Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Qobuz in A+ with the direct mode hack sounds so much better than TIDAL in A+ it's not even close. Jud 1 No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 If you can answer, are you trying to get Qobuz on the Aurender as well as Roon? No electron left behind. Link to comment

AudioDoctor Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I am upsampling by power of 2 before sending it to my DAC, also the same between both streaming services. Perhaps it's Audiophile sacrilege, however I do it to help 16/44 files sound a bit better. Anything above that does not get upsampled. No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 That I like to hear, thank you. I will keep that secret! No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I have it set right in A+, the Qobuz file is 16/44 and I upsample those to 24/88. In case anyone doesn't know how to only upsample specific sample rates, here, I will show you. Open Audio Preferences > Audio Filters > and select Custom > then over to edit settings and a pop up will appear letting you select what you want to happen to each sample rate.

AudioDoctor Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hell if I know. It would make more sense if one was an MQA file and one was a straight Hi-Res file. But there is certainly a difference, not a huge one, but a difference none the less. David.. Qobuz, Hi-Res Music Evangelist 1 No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I believe it, it almost sounds like the Qobuz version has less compression. No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 David, I have found a small issue related to tagging of Morgan James. She is listed as James Morgan, who is not female. David.. Qobuz, Hi-Res Music Evangelist 1 No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I just sent an identical note to Qobuz about a different album. Yes, I have seen that problem. David.. Qobuz, Hi-Res Music Evangelist 1 No electron left behind. Link to comment

Popular Post AudioDoctor Posted September 1, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2018 When you are able to, even the 16/44 from Qobuz sounds pretty damn good but the Hi-Res, without MQA, is amazing. Last night I was sitting with my SO on the other end of my office, by the fireplace with no fire going, and it sounded like Diana Krall on a smaller scale, yet real, was behind us. David..

Or will MQA be their saving grace? If TIDAL survives I suspect it will be at the $9.99 tier of mp3 streaming. No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Why is this album even appearing in the list of available albums if it is 100% unstreamable? No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 8 hours ago, EuroChamp said: I wonder if in your case you shouldn’t ask the Audirvana+ support. At least the Qobuz app highlights all tracks as „Excerpt“ (Auszug). Which means, you will only get the first 30 seconds. That's probably why. No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Has it been suggested yet to be able to search by Label? If that's possible, someone educate me please. I have not been able to find that function. No electron left behind. Link to comment

AudioDoctor Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Found an error on one of the new channel classics records. Ivan Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestras version of Wagner. Plays at 16/44 identifies itself as 24/192 in both A+ and the Qobuz desktop app for Mac. No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 and because I KNOW someone is going to point out that the album in question was not playing in the Qobuz app screen capture, here you go. No electron left behind. Link to comment
