Tidal and MQA..two questions.

I hope Qobuz actually does launch I've been eager to try it I even signed up for email updates a year ago. Not a single update so I'll believe they will launch when they launch.

Qobuz is fantastic!! I’m a euro subscriber. I need to cancel TIDAL since I hardly ever listen to it. 

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

MQA is not something I think is valuable based on my listening. Hit or miss in terms of sound quality. However, Tidal overall has wonderful sound.  So good I sold my big dollar CD player and all my CDs.  I just stream now with some 1000 ripped CDs.  I planned to never buy a CD again, but that will change if Tidal goes away.  😒

I am a huge Tidal fan with Roon. Together I am getting the best SQ I have ever had. I will be in distress if Tidal  goes away 😂

Has anyone else found 16/44 Tidal on Roon doesn't sound as good as the same track ripped and served locally by Roon? My wife actually noticed this - we were playing an orchestral piece and she commented the sound was anemic and lacking, "something's wrong." I realized she had clicked on it in Tidal, and when I switched to the ripped local copy she said it was better again. They were both 16/44, so no MQA involved.
