Tidal Vs QoBuz now all on FLAC files

[struts001]

However I understand that from late July, MQA has now been dropped ( I am unable to confirm this). Whether that means that substitute files are now used or if it indicates that although the supplied MQA service is no more, the source remains as before.

A proverbial can of worms.

You’re spot on Pete. If I take the Blur Think Tank Album that Erwan posted in the What’s Spinning thread Roon lists the Tidal 16/44.1 version as being MQA encoded:

However when I play it back on my Audioquest Dragonfly (MQA renderer) Roon’s signal path shows that this is just straight 16/44.1 FLAC with no MQA-encoding.
