Can't all music sources just peacefully co-exist.
As a newcomer to vinyl (rediscovering from childhood) I have been totally shocked at the range of quality in the pressings.
I got a new vinyl release as a Christmas present and its is borderline unlistenable out of the sleeve - BUT the MQA version from TIDAL is stunning in my room.
I got a Pink Floyd DSOM album as well - the SQ is stunning and while I cannot say it is better than MQA per say, I enjoy the process (re ritual) of putting it on my turntable, sitting down, and listening.
I sat down on Christmas eve to listen to show off Roon to my older father and had internet/streaming issues - I spent 45 minutes running around restarting modems and generally being pissed off.
I listened to a new Brittish artist last night on TIDAL (Holly Humberstone) that doesn't have a full album out yet - never mind vinyl.
For me - both have their place.
