I had both Tidal and Spotify for about 3-4 weeks and I noticed that Tidal sounded a little smoother on remastered/old recordings and no difference with newer digital recordings. Spotify seemed easier to manage but I am sure, with time and practice, both would be same. Using Cat8 eathernet cable made dramatic improvement overall. For money, I think, Spotify does good job. (Not that $10 extra is lot but, I felt, I could use $120 per year savings to buy LPs).
I don't have experience with MQA, but, I have lived through many versions of digital "improvements" that never really materialized commercially except MP3. How is that for quality digital music!
