I realize that Tidal is a native app in the Lucid while Qobuz is not. Of course, with CarPlay (and if AA ever debuts) it would be almost as good as a native app. All of my friends in central Illinois are big Qobuz fans and say they prefer it to Tidal. (Yes, I know Tidal offers Dolby Atmos, but besides that.) I'd be curious about your opinions. For the sake of argument, let's say Lucid offered both. Which would you choose?

I used Qobuz for a few years. When I got my Lucid Air I got a 3 month trial of Tidal since it was compatible with the Air. I compared Tidal with Qobuz for that 3 months on my Spectral/Magico system. I could not hear any audible differences between the two music services. There also is a very close overlap of their catalogs.
I canceled Qobuz and use Tidal for both 2 channel listening at home as well as in car music listening.

Tidal. If Qobuz doesn't offer Atmos tracks, what's the point?
