Hi everyone,
As you may or may not have heard it, TIDAL will discontinue the use of MQA streaming and download from the 24th July. You can follow the official statement here:

MQA has always been a very divisive subject. We have users who love it and users who hate it. Before you ask, we are neutral on this area. In the end, it's about what sounds best to you and this is personal. I've personally heard some tracks which I preferred in MQA and others that I preferred the FLAC version. This is what makes the Hi-Fi world so diverse.
We will keep codec support for MQA so if you have MQA files to be played locally these will still play just fine.
If you need any clarifications, I'm more than happy to do it on this thread.
