Aurender A20 reference analog output network player Review
Vocals were also easily discerned as superior, with more fullness, warmth, and even more resolution, when the HR track was played on Qobuz. An example: Natalie Merchant’s “I May Know the Word” was rendered as deeper, richer, more emotionally engaging as a Qobuz HR file. After conducting comparisons of upsampling and frequency settings of the A20, I concluded that none of them should be applied, at last for the Clarisys spekaers. I have no bias for or against manipulating the Redbook standard, but no upsampling seemed the most pleasing.
As a result of these comparisons, I am confident that, barring an intrusion or new development, Qobuz distinguishes itself as offering superior playback HR files. If I didn’t get a complimentary subscription, would I pay for that sound quality improvement? Scanning my demo list, I see enough of the HR variants of files that I would pay to hear that music rendered better. Would I drop the Tidal subscription to get that result? Not unless I was confident the vast majority my music was duplicated on Qobuz. Barring that, I would keep both. At the time of the publication of this article, I am finding a significant number of tracks that appear on Tidal do not appear on Qobuz, so at the moment I am inclined to keep using both music services.
