He can have 16/44 in 99.9% of cases I would think. He can always buy CDs or subscribe to Qobuz if it is available for him.
Life isn’t always fair.
Thanks I’ll give that a try. Could of sworn it still loaded MQA when I checked the audio chain after toggling that, but I’ll test again

Have not read all responses, but with this setting you will get no MQA from Tidal if you select HiFi instead of Master (they might still be MQA-encoded, but this info is stripped from the FLAC-stream).
Although there are a handful of MQA files foisted upon Qobuz does not imply that Qobuz supports MQA.
Fundamental misunderstanding of what Tidal serves-up in the Hi-Fi tier. The material is still MQA, only worse (yes, that is somehow possible). There are numerous other threads showing people’s experimentation e.g.Tidal “HiFi Plus” Introduced - #16 by Terry_Stone
