I use spotify more as a music discovery platform. If I really like an album i’ll download the best version of it.
Apple Music has already been offering Hi-Res lossless audio for years at no extra cost. They also don’t pay tens of millions of dollars to anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists and shove them in my face.
I’m not sure what Spotify’s plan is here, charging more for something that is the same or worse than what I already have.
Meanwhile tidal already has better quality at the same price.
MQA is literal garbage, so no, Tidal doesn’t.
Qobuz and Deezer do however.
It’s been a long time since the MQA controversy but I remember this was a great video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRjsu9-Vznc
IIRC Tidal basically applies subjective post-processing onto the lossless files and pretends they sound better.
