Re: Ascend Acoustics Official Music Recommendation Thread
Recently, I was able to join the Qobuz beta. I also have a Tidal subscription.
I am going to have to decide between the two when my Qobuz trial is over, as I don't want to pay for both.
But I love using them in Roon. Along with my own library, I have trouble choosing what to listen to. This past week, I have been kicking back on the sofa, listening for up to a couple of hours before heading to bed.
So much music at my finger tips! I know not everyone is interested in streaming, but since I have been using Tidal, it has been great.
So much good stuff to feed my Ascends!
This is just small sampling of what I go through when choosing what to play...

Nice. I'm also trying Qobuz in Roon now (never had Tidal). I need to figure out if they are interested in hearing about odd things I find - it is "beta" after all...

I have had a couple glitches in the stream.
Also an issue or two with sorting, but I am not sure if it should be reported to Roon or Qobuz.

How did you guys get into the Qobuz beta?

Roon announced. I followed links. The web page(s) offered sign-up, 30 day trial, beta test. Provide email, CC info, and here we are.

I actually signed up and filled out a survey about a month ago, and then a week or so I got an email saying I was approved.

Thanks, I had already signed up for the waitlist but I was wondering if there was some in via referral. I'll just have to be patient!

Shangri-la by Mark Knopfler

May not be everyone’s choice of music but the vocals sound amazing on the towers as if the stage is live and being played in my listening room.
Re: Ascend Acoustics Official Music Recommendation Thread
I need to stop reading this thread! :)
I have ordered 3 albums already:
Dissolution (Bluray) by Pineapple Thief
Love, Fear and the Time Machine - Hi-Res Stereo and 5.1 Surround Mix by Riverside
Roger Waters The Wall (Bluray)
And now considering trying out qobuz... although more likely to purchase albums I want vs a subscription. I can purchase several albums for $300/yr...

Same - I have purchased at least half of the music recommended here, and I love all of it. Latest was recommended to me by a customer of ours and it is terrific, with exceptional overall sound quality.
