Let's look at this a different way. I looked up a random Hi-res download CD from Linn Records. It asks $24.00 U.S. for one Hi-res download. I consider that expensive, especially if I don't like every track.
My Hifi Tidal subscription cost is $20.00 per month.
I can listen to one Linn CD worth of music, multiple times or I can listen to 1 month worth of MQA files of any of the artists on the Tidal service, as many times as I like.
I wish Linn well, but Tidal/MQA is a better choice for my hard earned dollars.
