No one seems to have mentioned it but the biggest difference for me between Qobuz/Hi Res and Tidal/MQA are their respective music catalogs. Tidal is more focused on contemporary Rock, etc, while Qobuz has the best Jazz and Classical selections. I have both and Roon as well. My DAC is dCS Bartok streamer. I personally prefer Qobuz for sound quality and catalog.
Roon is handy for combining the favorites of both services and a some downloaded or ripped owned albums and their Radio feature along with piping music to other sources in the house. And lots of cool metadata if you're into that. But it only works at home. dCS has their own streaming ap called Mosaic that goes directly to the streaming sites and eliminates all programs and equipment in between. It provides best sound. Get Roon on a trial to see if you like it before subscribing. Good Listening!
