RE: Storage of hi-res music from Tidal, Qobuz etc. on appropriate hardware?

Me again :-)

You can't store music from Tidal or Qobuz. They are streaming services - a stream cannot be saved on your computer. Qobuz will sell you a download, even a hi-rez download (at a big discount), but you have said elswhere that you are not going to buy tracks at this time.

Qobuz certainly offers a feature by which an album that you have streamed is stored within the app on your machine so that you can listen again offline. I don't know if Tidal offers something similar, I expect so. However you have no need to take any decisions on storage media as this all happens automatically within the Qobuz (or Tidal) app. It is also not permanent storage as the app allocates a certain % of computer memory for this activity and once the limit is reached the next album that is streamed will replace one of those held in the storage.
