It probably makes good sense for MQA to exist in internet streaming (your Tidal example) to save bandwidth. If bandwidth doesn't cost much to the home consumer, it does add up for the streaming service. They have a vested interest in keeping their bandwidth cost down. Same for mobile listeners on a cellphone or tablet data plan.I'm not sure I'm seeing the benefit for downloaded MQA files for local playback. DSD is also described as sounding 'natural'. I'm not sure how many people will be willing to repurchase MQA files to replace their existing DSD and PCM music library investment.
All I can say is that MQA had better sound jaw dropping pee in my pants better than DSD or PCM. Otherwise there's not enough incentive to get onboard, except to perhaps play with a couple MQA files. I most certainly will not re-buy all my music in MQA format.
But again, for internet streaming it makes sense.
