As has been said, the 2L Label is supplying material in MQA-CD format to the streaming services:

Tidal is different as they have this MQA16 in their lossy and HiFi but their Master tier is our original 24-bit full MQA. More info about the difference: [http://bobtalks.co.uk/](http://bobtalks.co.uk/)

This has apparently come as a surprise to Qobuz who thought the material was standard hi-res and marked it as such (192/24). The Roon software is able to see that it is MQA, and kicks in the appropriate unfolding.

From what Danny has said, it would appear that Qobuz and Roon Labs are in discussion about how to deal with the issue.
