Tidal and MQA..two questions.

Tidal seems to be in financial trouble as it has been reported in many news outlets. Jay-Z is having problems with not paying artists and paying two artists too much money.

1. Therefore if Jay-Z was forced to sell the artist owned company ...who would bail it out?
2. Also are there any other streaming services that offer MQA content (other than Tidal)?

I hear you on TidalBut I think Deezer is a worthy alternative and hopefully Quboz will be another good option when it finally launches in the USA.
Not sure how either of those integrate with Roon as I do  not use it.
I have to say though in my rig to my ears, MQA is usually audibly better but just my opinion.

We are still waiting the USA launch of Quboz.
What sort of streaming quality does it offer?

Sorry Tidal is NOT the only audiophile quality streaming service out there.

Deezer is also up at red book CD at 16/44.
Admittedly no MQA level but miles ahead of Spotify or Pandora.

Then we also have Quboz ready to launch in the USA soon.

I certainly hope Tidal survives in one shape or form but there ARE other hirez options.
More to discover
