I've begun my own survey.For Primephonic: The tracks are either in 44/16 or 48/24. I don't believe there are any others. However it doesn't indicate in any way which it is you are listening to. I took measurements to find out. It does deliver a true red book or 48/24 as promised.
For Tidal: I have no idea what you get when you play its "master" files, for to hear them "correctly" you need a MQA DAC which I do not have. In any event it is an artificial manipulation in which I have no interest. Tidal "HIFI" is supposed to provide true 44/16. It does not.* On my Chrome browser, it does not even come close. On their own app, it does come quite a bit closer but there's no telling precisely what its manipulation of the original red book data provides.
On both of these they have a long way to go for their search function. It is often difficult to find an album you are looking for. You have to persist. Sometimes it's better to search by orchestra than by conductor. A search by conductor may come up empty, but listing all albums for a piece of music may, among the many, yield the one you want.
*Keep in mind that when your DAC registers a number like 44 or 48 etc. it is only registering the container for the data and not the data itself.
