Qobuz, a privately owned French company founded in 2007, provides music streaming and download services. Operating in 26 countries across several continents, including Europe, North America, parts of South America, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, the company employs approximately 120 people. Its offerings include high-resolution audio streaming and downloads (up to 24-bit/192kHz), a catalog exceeding 100 million tracks, and supplementary content such as editorial features and liner notes. In 2023, Qobuz's revenue was less than $50 million.
Qobuz integrated its high-resolution streaming and download service into the HEOS app on an unspecified date, providing users of Denon and Marantz devices with another method to access their Qobuz libraries via a free firmware update. This partnership deepened existing collaboration between Qobuz, Denon, and Marantz. Additionally, the complete Chesky Records catalog, featuring artists such as Ron Carter, Peggy Lee, Jimmy Cobb, and Macy Gray, became available for streaming and download on Qobuz.
