  Like a caveman, I just plug in and use my phone to control it!

  At home I do use an amp thay supports direct play, there’s a few companies that support Qobuz in thay way - and self hosted options too. To make use of the fidelity.

  I only used Tidal a while back during a free trial, so can’t comment too much. I think Tidal might have more wide spread functuonality adoption than Qoboz - but they do seem to be pushing out updates to meet feature parity.

  Qoboz has been great to use though. I actually find I get a wider spectrum of recommendations than Spotify. Spotify seemed to type cast my current listening habits agressively, and it would take a while to break out of that loop each time.

  Thank you! I’m going to have a listen through these this week - you may have just broadened my horizons!

  I have a custom domain and they accepted it a couple months ago - maybe give it another shot if it was a while back?

  Ah this is an interesting point. I think Qoboz are active in expanding their libraries and they do take requests on site. Do you have any JP recommendations - its not a region I’ve ever really listened to?

  I’ve not seen anyone recommend an alternative like Qobuz in these “fuck spotify” discussions - I think it’s a good honest alternative?
