The best Qobuz playlists from Amigos HiFi

The best themed playlists are available exclusively to our knowledgeable readers.

In this section, I will compile the best playlists used by the Amigos HiFi editorial team. Each one will explain the reason behind it and how to set it up properly to enjoy it.

The best themed playlists are available only to our knowledgeable readers, who know how to choose the best streaming provider available today, which is Qobuz. So, dear Qobuzers, let's get to the lists.

This is a deliberately eclectic list. It is intended to be played several times in order to see how any music system that comes to the editorial office and wants to be tested and analyzed in depth develops. A fundamental aspect is the configuration with which it should be listened to. The best option is with an Ethernet cable directly to the router, which is what we use. Secondly, WiFi, indicating Hi-Res 24-bit quality up to 192 kHz. With mobile phone data, we have it set to Hi-Res 24-bit up to 96 kHz. If using a music manager such as Roon, eliminate the output balance of the different tracks. We need the purest sound possible.

This playlist is the official one for the publication and is listed as the main one in the Qobuz Partners program. It is a treasure, and we are making it public as another example of transparency in the way we work.

Even we get tired of the most experimental music or music that seeks the best sound projection from music systems. Even we need to reconnect with the joy of having a soundtrack in the background, allowing us to talk in a relaxed manner and enjoy a spirit drink in a calm atmosphere. With this idea in mind, we created this little musical gem (forgive our lack of modesty, but that's what we believe it to be) that is this Qobuz playlist.

You have to physically place yourself in a bar like this: The Kissaten and, in the good company of friends or your partner, converse in low voices, letting the music fill in the gaps between words. No rush, nothing to do, just relax, talk, and listen.

To enjoy this playlist, you need to use an active track balancer and set the music volume so that two people sitting close to each other can talk quietly. The most spectacular part of this playlist is not the sound (which is exceptional), but the atmosphere it creates and fills the room with. With a well-presented drink in front of each person, a unique and unrepeatable climax is achieved. It is absolutely necessary to play this playlist on shuffle to generate a unique and unpredictable atmosphere every day, which is the desired effect. We will continue to increase the number of tracks slowly and calmly, as it should be.
