Title: What does Qobuz do to music?
Post by tony77 on 04/16/19 at 10:30:26

Hello everyone,

So I've recently moved from Tidal to Qobuz after listening to few songs and noticing that Qobuz sounded better for some reason. Today while listening through Roon I listened to I'm So Afraid by Fleetwood Mac with Qobuz as the source and noticed that the song sounded a little off. So I listened to the same song from a local file (same resolution as Qobuz) and the song sounded just as I remember. On Qobuz the songs didn't sound bad but somehow I felt like I could hear the drum stick, instead of the drum beat, and I could hear the strings of the bass but the bass didn't sound as full. So what exactly is happening with Qobuz?

Thank you!

Tony,

What I was told by "Telcom" engineers is that the WWW was never intended to stream audio or video.

What enables data to be transmitted includes something known as "packet loss".

I think that this loss accounts for part of the sound quality difference.
