I really don't care about what the general market has to say about MQA. They don't care about Hi-Rez either. As long as companies will continue to supply our small niche market with devices and software that make our music sound great that is what I care about. Tidal will maybe stream MQA for the nitch market. The mass market who don't know what it is will continue to do whatever they are doing. I don't care

Ah, but Mr. Market will determine the scope, breadth and depth of the musical libraries available on MQA. Mr. Market will determine the number of and the functionality of the DACs capable of playing MQA encoded music.
If you want to limit yourself to a handful of multi-kilobuck priced MQA compatible DACs and a laughably skinny selection of MQA compatible tracks, then help yourself.
Meanwhile, if I might humbly suggest, when you aren't so whipped up to be a discriminating audiophile, standard Redbook can provide quite satisfying playback. You don't have to tell anyone, but there it is for your enjoyment.

I love redbook. Many cds and stream from Tidal. Mr. market did not drive DSD or all the dacs out there that play it.The hardware people and there are now a few that have MQA are not being driven by the market but by us (audiophiles). If Tidal streams MQA and with my $299 Meridian dac I will be ok with that
