There is a setting where you can tell Roon your streaming service preference. It also says that "Roon will always feature the highest quality content from your library."
It's under "Settings" - "General" - "Streaming Content Preferences".
I just added Tidal's HiFi tier and am currently using that and Qobuz in Roon. I haven't done any side-by-side listening so I can't really say that one sounds better but my "gut" thinks Qobuz does. But it's not a fair test as I have hi-res audio in Qobuz and just CD quality audio in Tidal.
When I do Roon radio, it mixes between the two services (and local music), and I don't really notice any obvious changes in sound quality. I mean some stuff sounds different but that's because, in that context, it's different songs, different recordings.
FYI, I got Tidal because Tidal is built into the Tesla infotainment system.
