Tidal may be most popular but the use of the lossy MQA codec for their "lossless" offerings is objectively worse than Deezer, Apple music and even Amazon Music.

Good thing they are migrating to FLAC! Also, while MQA is objectively worse, subjectively it's pretty much equal to objectively better options. At least for us humans :) I found this double-blind test of MQA critic Archimago and they couldn't find a statistically significant difference between MQA and PCM :)
