I have been using Qobuz @ 320 kbps for several months now. My biggest problem is that the streaming quality is very "fragile" (for lack of a better term). I have FIOS at home (25/25 mbps) and work at a research university which has very good Internet service. However, my streaming experience is constantly marred by stutters and dropouts regardless of whether I'm using a desktop computer (iMac) or a laptop (MacBook Air) and regardless of whether I am connected by ethernet cable or wireless. Their customer service has been very prompt and polite but they have not been able to fix my streaming issues. It looks like I will give up the service at the next payment point... I was really looking forward to streaming 44.1/16 but if they I can't even get 320 to work, there is no hope.
I guess I'll try Tidal next although I think their focus on young folks will likely limit their jazz and classical catalog... We'll see...
