Tidal streams in CD quality or theoretically better with MQA encoding/decoding. But even taking MQA out of the picture (it's mostly just smoke and mirrors) it sounds quite nice and on par with my CD's.
CD quality = 44,100 x 16-bits x 2 = 1.4112 Mbs
Qobu streams in CD quality or better w/o MQA so depending on the tune it can be as high as 192,000 x 24-bits x 2 = 9.216 Mbs
I listen to my lossless CD rips as well as Qobuz and Tidal streaming. It's all very good and my CD player and TT haven't seen the light of day in years. There's down in dark dingy basement collecting dust ;-)
