Congratulations, Fredrik!
Amazing review.

Hi Fredrik Sounds like a well earned break. That was my experience too with the settings. Made me prefer qobuz on lots of music. Now that I am back with Spotify, It has made me paranoid so I check quite often. What is strange is that the last update did not change the settings. It’s unpredictable. H...

🔶 I'm a little surprised,.or a lot. Nowhere on the "net" except here,.you read that Spotify would be better than Qobuz. Instead,.everyone writes all over the internet that they are waiting and waiting for Spotify to start delivering high-resolution HiFi-quality. I have Qobuz myself,.and in my high-...

Yes, it was that thread that reminded me to check. I have also been checking a lot and kept the settings right, but not on this instance: )

This is embarrassing, but I have learned something important. It seems my testing with Spotify and Qobuz during the Christmas holiday was done with the all the wrong settings on. Especially Sound normalization and play feedback sounds, which has Spotify playing badly, especially on modern recordings...

Hi!
I connect my Rel t5i to at the speaker end ofJern 14 Ds with a Boazu. It works really well, i think.

Good that you find it interesting, Spannko.
Fred

I see, Matthias. It is interesting. I see can see that I have been sharing different experiences in this thread earlier and that the question Qobuz vs Spotify divides opinions, even though most seems to prefer Spotify, here. Just out of interest I have continued to compare the two and I still stand ...

Four ears more to assess the difference sounds promising.

…perhaps most important, Last Christmas -Wham - Spotify most musical for me😊

Very interesting, M
I agree that it is exceptional anyway with Källa. Generally the feel of the songs alter a little, Spotify is lighter and qobuz feels more solid and tighter in a way.
Merry Christmas to everyone and especially to Fredrik. Thank you very much for bringing music to our homes❄️🎄

I have tested some more tracks: Kind of blue - MD - Spotify best Rickie Lee Jones - Night train - Qobuz best Rene Jacobs- Christmas Oratorium - First song - Spotify best Jan Johanson - Visa från utmyra - A bit different, bass i a little fuller on Qobuz, and the piano notes a little more defined, but...

Thats interesting. I did not find the 2022 remastret as clear cut as others but for example from 3.30 I think it is easier to follow the drums together with the whole, so qobuz for me. And you?
F

It is interesting that you say that, M.
My experience has been in favour of Spotify until now, and like I wrote there is still some records that is better on Spotify in my setup. But to me now it seems qobuz is the most musical on the majority of records. I will keep both services, though.
F

Three more tune dem tests today: The Doors - Riders on the storm - Spotify the most lively and musical Bob Marley- Lively up your self - Qobuz far more insight and music M. Davis - So what - Qobuz a bit more easy to follow the music. Interplay between piano and trumpet first two minutes is nicer for...

Or is it still just more hifi???
Would be interesting to hear others impressions: )

Hi Matthias, yes, in comparison to Spotify👍

Has Qobuz gotten better? I got a one month free trial of qobuz, and for fun tried some songs again. I know I just wrote about how I found Spotify more musical. This was especially evident on some tracks, like Talk talk`s Happiness is easy (I think it is more than only higher level, the musical drive...

I was just so perplexed by the difference, so cheat was perhaps a bit over the top. I have no idea, and am only interested as evidence a nothing else. Like I wrote it is just so strange with the unevenness of the recordings and that the quality varies so much. Some Qobuz is really good, but like Fre...

I had a friend over and we tested qobuz and Spotify against Watch other again. This time it was Jern 12WS Boazu Källa. I wonder why some records are ridiculously better on Spotify. One example is Talk Talk with the opener ‘Happiness is easy’. It is such a big difference. Rickie Lee Jones first recor...

Congratulations with your groundbreaking streamer, Fredrik🙌🤩🍾

Fredrik is of course the Expert on this, but I would say a couple of months for me.
F

I think Kans look nicer, by far, but they are different. Took some time to get used to, but now they av grown in me. Will be very interesting to hear how your two LK amps work.y experience is that Boazu, especially 1.3 takes some time break in and for it to ‘soften’ soundwise.
F

So many interesting matches with Boazu! Would be fun to hear, Linns old and new, Totem, Klångedång and Kudos!

Congrats, Charlie!
Hope you enjoy them. Entity must e great and go superb with Boazu. For me, Boazu is calmer and follows the flow of the music better than Nait 1. less fatigue and just music. I understand you love your Kans: ) Here is my modern Kans: )
