Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A music-resolution search tool that compares playlist tracks across streaming platforms and identifies the best verified version.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-07 issue.

Field notes

HRQ compares recordings across streaming catalogs using identifiers, release dates, and cross-platform consistency rather than relying only on displayed resolution labels. Its workflow supports direct connections for Qobuz, TIDAL, and Apple Music, plus file-based imports for Spotify and Roon; Deezer is handled by link. The page describes roughly two minutes per playlist audit and offers both subscription access and per-title credits, while presenting the service as a private beta.
