While others have noted that Meridian owners get links to streaming TIDAL content, but are not able to downloaded the content itself, I haven't seen any thoughts about why Meridian hasn't secured the right to enable its systems (with storage, of course) do actually download, as an "offline" device. Such devices, for example, iFruits, are able to download content. Subscribers are able to simultaneously stream content on one device, and play offline, downloaded content on up to three additional devices.
