Now that Tidal now longer streams MQA for Roon users has anyone bought MQA from HIGHRESAUDIO and played it from the Nucleus?
If so how complicated is the process?
I want to try this option if it's compatible. A Roon member has told me streaming from that app isn't an option, but downloads are. I need the abc of it.
Thanks.

I can still choose and make MQA the primary under Versions in Roon. I did buy some MQA cds and ripped them. Buying a file is as easy: pay, download and store in your files for playback. Regardless the format.

Using the Roon Nucleus and Roon to stream from Tidal any MQA content above 44.1 has been replaced with FLAC.
I sent Tidal an email an inquiry and they did reply simply stating they have moved to the free FLAC format and showed me the new price that is nearly $10 a month less.

Yep that’s the reply I got too. After much probing, as they were attempting to be deliberately vague about the whole thing.
