Qobuz review

Qobuz is built for people who care about recordings as much as songs. Every Studio plan streams lossless and Hi-Res audio in FLAC at up to 24-bit, 192 kHz across a catalog of over 100 million tracks, and Qobuz says all its apps support 24-bit playback with no restrictions. Weekly editorial articles, liner-style features and expert playlists make it a good fit for jazz, classical and album listeners. Studio Solo costs $12.99 a month without commitment, or $10.83 a month when paid as one annual payment, which makes it the cheapest Hi-Res plan on this list for listeners who commit for a year. The Sublime plan, from $14.99, adds discounts of up to 60% on Hi-Res album purchases from the Qobuz download store. Apps cover Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, with Chromecast and AirPlay. There is no free tier, and Qobuz has none of the podcast, audiobook or social extras of Spotify.
