About Qobuz

Qobuz is a Paris-based high-resolution music streaming and download service operated by Xandrie SA. It focuses on lossless CD-quality (16-bit/44.1 kHz) and hi-res audio up to 24-bit/192 kHz, and added DSD/DXD support in 2024. Two paid tiers — Studio and Sublime (which adds discounts on hi-res downloads) — are available individually, as duo or family plans, with a student discount; pricing in the US starts at $12.99/month. Qobuz publishes its per-stream royalty rate, a first among streaming services.
