RE: Is MQA technology getting closer to us?

"Of course the whole "authentication" idea makes no sense for Tidal! "

Yes that it a correct observation. Tidal are not at the point in the chain where they can "authenticate" anything. It is the data supplied to Tidal by the original record company that can be "authenticated". Other tracks can be streamed in MQA without "authentification" as "authentification" is not mandatory, it's an option.

So although you are right in that there will be no consumer encoders, it is not the case that only those in a position to "authenticate" will be able to create MQA files or streams. Those streams will just not be "authenticated".
