Qobuz is already streaming hi res in Europe without the need for MQA. They have indicated they will be available in the US some time this year. Time will tell.

Qobuz is good.
I have listened to several albums in hi-res that best the CDs I own.
And not by a small margin.
I don't know if it was the remastering quality or the higher resolution, but I was amazed.
Half of the weekly new releases are in hi-res.
You do need a fast internet connection, but if you have one, there are very few hiccups.

No fast internet here, so it's Tidal/Roon/MQA for me.

The Hans video is the best, most informative MQA discussion I have seen.

Not sure if this has been posted before? Paul McGowan discussing MQA.
