I know MQA is a polarizing conversation, but it's is a differentiator in the Tidal offering
Whether or not it's a value add differentiator may never be resolved while we're all still young
I've use both Tidal and QoBuz
In my experience Tidal appears to tolerate lower bandwidth connections better than Qobuz and thus more options for mobile use
Example, in my car over a cellular connection I can consistently stream and playback MQA files. I'm cannot reliably use the Qobuz app over cellular connections much less stream music
I'd also submit that the Tidal demographic is more 'on the go' and likely to listen more from a mobile perspective
I concur with the other observations about Tidal demographics and content
