October 1 2021, 02:10
Qobuz, the high-quality music streaming and download service, announced a partnership with THX to make high-resolution audio listening more accessible to music lovers worldwide. The recently launched THX Onyx digital-to-analog amplifier dongle (DAC/Amp) will now be bundled with a three-month complimentary subscription of Qobuz, offering plug-and-play 24-bit sound quality from a variety of listening devices.
 

The THX Onyx is a portable USB DAC/Amp that provides improved audio enjoyment over wired headphones whenever the music source actually provides high-quality audio, as is the case with Qobuz high-resolution audio streaming, which is delivered as lossless FLAC.

The THX Onyx USB-C DAC, with its powerful THX AAA and ESS chips built in, effortlessly handles Qobuz' top hi-res streams at 24-bit/192 kHz, along with every other resolution the music service offers. The device ensures the highest fidelity listening experience with low noise distortion, and maximum dynamic range from sources that normally don't even support HRA material. Since it was announced in April 2021, the THX Onyx continues to receive positive reviews for use with laptops, smartphones, and tablets. The Qobuz subscription paired with THX Onyx is a great combination.

"The sound quality of Qobuz through THX Onyx is breathtaking," says Jason Fiber, chief operating officer and senior vice president of THX. "Qobuz streams unaltered full and high-resolution audio. The Qobuz and THX Onyx pairing is ideal for the purist and enthusiast alike who want to enjoy the music as it was recorded and intended to be heard."

Qobuz offers an extensive catalog of exclusive HRA releases across genres (including the likes of Christian McBride, Tower of Power, Frank Zappa, and more), liner notes and lyric books found nowhere else, plus exclusive essays, artist playlists, and more. Paired with the THX Onyx, users will be able to get Qobuz' top-of-the-line content and listen in Hi-Res with ease.

Dan Mackta, Qobuz USA managing director said of the partnership, "THX Onyx USB DAC/Amp is a great piece of hardware that gives an instant upgrade to your listening, and a means to ensure that Qobuz sounds amazing when listening over your favorite wired headphones!"

Qobuz is available in 18 countries around the world and offers a catalog of more than 70 million tracks, with more than 240,000 albums available in 24-bit. Qobuz is the only multi-genre platform to achieve Hi-Res certification — a label awarded by the Japan Audio Society (JAS).

THX continues to redefine entertainment, providing exciting new technologies and assurance of experiences which provide consumers with superior audio and visual fidelity and ensure an artist's vision is truthfully delivered to audiences worldwide. THX Ltd. is owned by Razer and operates as a fully independent subsidiary.
