The day has come, the label "MQA" desappeared from tidal's now playing screen. Since the majority of residual MQA were 44.1KHz 16bit files, now the app most likely shows 16bit 44.1KHz Flac.
Ok we are all happy but if those files are sent to a MQA capable streamer/dac, like Bluos one of my Nad, it still recognizes MQA structure or some hidden flag and starts to MQA decode as before.
Other streamer like WiiM once first unfold capable, stop to recognize MQA even enabled and manages as normal Flac.
It seems they just changed the way Tidal app shows file nature but they didn't changed anything on files or just some flag.
From the point of view of a Bluos dac user, nothing changed at the moment and I don't know if it's a good or bad new...
