MQA does not require a special protocol. That's one of it's selling points.
MQA can hide in any non-lossy file / transmission format (FLAC, ALAC, etc.).
However, whether you can convince Tidal to stream you master quality or not is another story. The Chrome browser will partially unfold it to 96/24, otherwise based on the streamer and their communication with Tidal.
