Qobuz Studio Premier

One of the earliest services to offer lossless content, Qobuz was equally prompt out the blocks with hi-rescontent too. As a result, it’s possibly the streaming service that’s changed the least over the last few years.

The library is quoted at over 80-million tracks available in sample rates between 16-bit/44.1kHz and 24-bit/192kHz, all encoded to FLAC. Trackwise Qobuz sometimes draws blanks against Tidal, but there are certainly fewer than there were.

There are some useful details on offer here that are worthy of note. The first is that it has two streaming plans, both of which are hi-res capable but with one that adds a discount for content from the download store and a cheaper one that is streaming only. Qobuz has lopped a further £2 a month from this monthly price to keep it competitive as well as adding both a decent family plan and an interesting twin account subscription offer.
