What happen to MQA on Tidal?


After listening to Tidal only on my phone the last few weeks, I went to stream on my home system but soon realized all my MQA tracks were no longer showing up and the MQA parameters were absent in my streaming settings.  I see Tidal is in "administration" (Chapter 11???).   One of the main reasons I subscribed to Tidal was MQA and purchased a DAC that could decode the format.   I think I should have at least been informed by Tidal if it was cancelling MQA.  Any thoughts? 

I know a lot of people hate (hated) MQA, but like any format I have listened to (Vinyl, CD, SACD, FLAC, MQA, etc.) , some things sound great and others on a plain old red book CD sounds better.

I just listen to Qobuz or Tidal and the max resolution they have. I don't worry about the format, just what sounds good to me. I guess I can't understand why so many people fuss about it. There seem to be far more differences in album production and how it affects sound quality ??

Yeah Randyhat, I just listen to what sounds good to me. But live and let live, if someone gets their panties bunched up by MQA and doesn't like it, so be it.
