Final response below from Tidal, basically it is what it is, MQA settings are a thing of the past. See the link from Tidal below.
I'm not one to jump on bandwagons but it seemed a lot of people liked MQA and it seemed like it was here to stay. Like others posted here, some formats sound better than others when they're done correctly, I have some Hi-Rez FLAC recordings that sound great and others not so much, same for DSD, SACD, CD, vinyl, etc.
Thanks all for your responses. So far most of what I have played from Tidal is CD quality.
From Tidal:
"We will still have MQA files available , however when an artist has delivered a song in both MQA and HiRes FLAC, the song you hear will be the HiRes FLAC version. The hierarchy of availability is HiRes FLAC, then MQA (Master Quality Authenticated), then FLAC, then AAC (compressed audio), meaning that if we don’t have the file available in HiRes FLAC, the source file will be the MQA version, and so on"
