Default Qobuz Lowers Rate

Hey........................it looks like Qobuz has lowered their rate, at least for the time being. I noticed it on my monthly bill. Previously paid $26.65/month including tax, now today it's $15.98.

https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/music/streaming/offers

Qobuz Studio Premier gives you access to the best library of streaming music in Hi-Res and CD lossless quality. Because your music is worth it.
Only $14.99 per month plus tax or $149.99/year = $12.50/month plus tax

I just got the Qobuz email about a half hour ago. I had canceled both Tidal and Qobuz subscriptions. $14.99 a month for CD quality and high-res streaming beats the heck out of my previous Qobuz rate of $24.99 a month. I just resubscribed to Qobuz. It is now a bonafide bargain.

Listening to the Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed at 24/192 right now. Sounding very good.

Good move Dan.
In my opinion, it is still the best streaming service around.
Unobtrusive, good interface, booklets with the albums, true high res, and a good choice of less popular music.
I still continue my Tidal subscription also, but it gets less than 10% of my listening time.

They’ve also announced that they’re dropping their “premium” MP3 plan and won’t offer any mp3 service in the US. Waiting to see if they’re going to do the same to their Europe plan.

Just subscribed for a year and have it integrated with Roon; really liking it a lot so far.

The classical library is amazing; just do a search for Rossini, for example.

The iPhone app also sounds quite good, even on an iPhone 6S. There's also a lot of really good written content on the iPhone on the music, in a Roon-like way.

First impressions are very positive.

Just playing around with the Mac OS app...it looks just like Roon!

Way cool.

Feel right at home...very nice.

Yes, Roon integration is done well and easy to use. It's fun seeing all the albums you don't have.
