The streaming service can be used via the web-based Qobuz Player, or by using the Qobuz Desktop player for Microsoft Windows and macOS; the Windows version may work under Linux with recent versions of Wine. Qobuz also provides Android and iOS applications, and Sonos support.[5]
Qobuz offers digital music streaming in CD quality (FLAC 16-bit/44.1 kHz). Qobuz and Tidal are the only generally available CD-quality streaming services (Deezer Elite is restricted to Sonos users).Qobuz also provides a digital music downloading service, offering all downloads in CD-quality (16-bit) and some in 'Hi-Res' (high-resolution audio) quality (24-bit).[6]
The company has a partnership with the British classical music magazine Gramophone, under which the magazine uses Qobuz to publish recommended playlists.[7]
