TLDR: MQA isn't lossless, is arguably worse than normal flac, and is seemingly nothing more than a (quite effective) scheme to generate licensing fees. With the frustrating addition that if you are a Tidal user, even if you have no MQA dac, and use the "Hifi" streaming quality setting, MQA encoded/lossy files will still be served to you. And the only way to avoid that being to switch to Qobuz.
If you disagree with this post, or if someone from MQA/Meridian is reading this, it would be excellent if you could provide alternative evidence supporting MQA's claims. If they are true it'd be EXTREMELY simple to demonstrate/prove and so the current lack of any evidence other than marketing claims is concerning.
可能同Soptify 320 Ogg vorbis冇分別甚至衰啲

我覺得最大原因係傳 spotify 推出無損,攪到個個軟硬件都未掂,個個嗱嗱聲搶客仔先

WXA 50 冇辦法,玩 tidal 最方便辦法睇下佢有冇 firmware update support tidal connect
堅持玩 tidal 又要用 iDevice 駁線播 high res 的話...
可能要 iDevice->camera adapter-> USB to toslink->wxa50
