Well spotted, Bruce!

Well if everything in the article is true (Tidal gradually replacing all MQA with FLAC) this is very bad news for MQA.

I must say, if they did go down that route, I would personally have zero reason to choose Tidal over numerous other streaming services. MQA was a unique selling point; hi-res FLAC is not.

[Not to mention they would have lied about their intention to maintain the existing MQA catalogue, I can’t abide companies who lie to their paying customers.]
