HDtracs also sells some stuff losslessly. Though one thing I've noticed I've noticed on both Qobuz and HDtracs is tha, in addition to only having some stuff losslessly, the availability of lossless varies by region. The same album might be sold lossless in one region and only lossy in another region.
Didn't know about them before, thanks for sharing!
That's weird, since as far as I can tell, qobuz doesn't offer lossy downloads at all (I've heard they used to, but stopped. Maybe there are some regions where they're still offering it?)
Hmm, maybe I was misremembering. On second thought I think it was actually 7digital I was thinking of that did the regional lossless, I forgot about that one. For example, the same album on Swedish and American stores:
