Thanks for the link, but it gives me a page not found, although with an entertaining “You have boldly gone where no one has gone before.”.
Glad it has worked out for you since finding music these days can be a project.
Do this at: “You have boldly gone where no one has gone before.” page. It worked for me.
Services? Qobuz, Bandcamp, Hearts of Space.
I also use Roon, but Roon is not a “service.”
Oh, I have the annual Plus plan with a couple months left. I can look again and see if I can find the stations.
Try “Blue Note” and “Hard Bop” for early Combo Jazz. Flip through and curate your picks and ‘Ban Artist’ to shape your Stations. The ‘artist biographies’ are great.
I left Tidal because of MQA and changed over to DEEZER and directly stream to the Devialet expert pro 250. Much better synergy. No more snake oil from Tidal.

Not sure what’ your saying as MQA is on DEEZER
" September 6, 2017 – Following major partnership unveilings at IFA technology show in Berlin, MQA is announcing a key new agreement with global music streaming platform Deezer, which will significantly expand MQA’s music offering and audience reach.
Really? I didn’t see it mentioned in there promotional material when decided on them. Good to know. I’m till on the trial. Qobus isn’t offered in Canada, any suggestions.
I’d stay with Tidal. That’s the pits Qobuz is not in Canada yet. I’ve read people is Canada using a VPN work around for Qobuz in Canada. Qobuz users? - General Audio Discussion • Canuck Audio Mart Hifi and Audio Forum

Interesting that Tidal and Qobuz don’t even make the list but Deezer does.

If you already have Amazon Prime then Amazon HD music streaming is $7.99/mo.
Beware that on Windows their app doesn’t adjust dac settings according to the current track which is just nuts but that’s how it is.
If you want to play various formats you’ll have to reset the dac manually.
I set the player to max of 16/44 and set the dac to the same. CD quality is good for me.

The good thing with Amazon HD is that they have a good collection of music, the only issue is that doesn’t support bit perfect, not an issue if you listen to an album just set the audio settings to the album quality but for playlists with different rates is an issue, I don’t mind much.
All that money he spends on going into space in a giant dildo, you would think he could put a bit of effort into a higher quality music service for the rest of us stuck on Mother earth. Thanks though for the advice. The price is right, now if only …

My m11 pro and my Node 2i both play Amazon bit-perfectly, so I rarely use anything else as a source.

I mainly use a computer for audio, on the computer side it doesn’t support bit perfect, but again if I listen to an album I just set the same rate of the album, for playlists I can live without bit perfect, I actually mainly use Qobuz with Roon, I just use Amazon for those few albums that Qobuz doesn’t have and wife prefers Amazon HD.

When I use my computer, I’m using JRIVERS for media server along with Fidilizer software to tweak the computer. JRivers is an amazing tool for what it allows you to achieve.

I just run everything through my Lumin T2 and its app. while I play either songs from my external drives or stream directly from Qobuz. My Lumin is connected to a W4S STP Stage II pre amp that’s connected to a PASS XA30.5
Or I run the Lumin right to my BHA-1

Today I had 6 hours of Qobuz music, based on my listening, and it was very well done, starting with their weekly personalized collection.

The setup configuration and cost is what has me on the fence when considering Roon. I am currently using Sony Music center. I really like it because its FREE. I think all the streaming services are too expensive. I did sign up for Amazon music HR. I rip all my albums with Noteburner. It takes time but is worth it, for all my music can be played without a internet connection! The storage solution is much better, today you can get a 5 Terabyte SSD for around 120 dollars.
