Qobuz Music Streaming

Qobuz is a high-end French musical service launched in 2007, specifically designed for audiophiles who demand the highest audio quality. It was the first streaming service to offer 24-bit Hi-Res audio and has built its reputation on providing extensive metadata, digital booklets, and editorial content alongside its vast library of FLAC-format tracks.

The platform operates under the ownership of Xandrie SA, a French digital entertainment group. While many streaming giants are headquartered in the United States, Qobuz remains a uniquely European endeavor, maintaining its headquarters in Paris. It focuses on a niche market of high-fidelity enthusiasts and professional musicians, distinguishing itself from competitors through both its technical specifications and its boutique, human-curated approach to music discovery.
