Hi-res music streaming and download store for audiophiles
Qobuz is a French music service focused on high-resolution audio, streaming in lossless and hi-res FLAC up to 24-bit/192 kHz. Alongside streaming it runs a store for buying hi-res album downloads, and adds editorial content such as reviews, liner notes and digital booklets, with a catalog known for its classical and jazz coverage. There is no free tier, but paid plans can be tried for free first.
