However, don't I give up being able to reproduce hi-res up to 24/192? I believe Qobuz does not need to fold the music files 7 times like Tidal. Perhaps as a result Qobuz is able to unfold faster and image better.
Tidal encodes hi-res into MQA format, which is a lossy compression method. When unfolded back to hi-res, the data is not identical to the original. Qobuz delivers the original hi-res data lossless and unaltered.
