much like TIDAL?

I think TIDAL would be great if they just let everyone know WHICH titles are MQA by genre or some form of search?

Until they do, MQA/TIDAL is just a marketing gimmick.

Roon does that for Tidal within the Roon player. ;-)

Makes you wonder about Neil's PonoMusic untimely business model that was focused on downloads when downloads were clearly in decline. His desire for higher quality audio should be commended, but downloads?

The shift to streaming is probably a smart move by HDtracks and they get to check-off the MQA box in their advertising (meh).

More streaming competition with a focus on audio quality will hopefully bring in even more players with more choice while keeping costs in check.
