Why Audiophiles Are Switching to THIS Streaming Service

On this episode of the Axpona Audio Insider Podcast, Lenny Florentine sits down with David Solomon from Qobuz to talk about why this high-res streaming platform is making serious waves in the audiophile world. From the origin of its name - yes, it's based on an ancient instrument played by shamans - to why it's the only major service that still uses human-curated playlists instead of AI. David shares stories from the road, talks about healing from a rotator cuff injury, and breaks down how Qobuz became the first to publish what it pays artists per stream—spoiler alert: it's about four times higher than anyone else. We also dive into how Qobuz helps you discover new music, why owning your music still matters, and how even a phone and a simple DAC can open the door to better sound. Whether you're streaming on a $150 entry-level unit or a six-figure reference rig, this episode is packed with insights on where streaming is headed and why Qobuz might just be the upgrade you didn't know you needed.
