    Qobuz sounds a bit better to me too. A bit more natural.

    Tidal has a redbook and MQA version of Carly Rae Jepsen’s “The Loneliest Time” and there’s a night and day difference between the two. However, I’m still curious if Quboz sounds better than the redbook version on Tidal.

    Yep. I can't tell the difference between Qobuz and local files through Roon. I just stream everything now.

    My understanding is that Tidal's Redbook has also gone through MQA conversion. I had only been listening to their "hifi" tier not their "masters" tier.

    Listening to some older Brian Blade (Friends Call Her Dot) and the differences are quite pronounced. All the brush work is more pronounced as is the purr of the reeds. After 7+ years of Tidal, call me impressed.
