Not sure if your list is based of this unformatted version that is listed in alphabetical order. It can be loaded into a spreadsheet and formatted as required.

You can tell when the list was last updated by the 3rd line in the file. Example of the first few lines of the link I posted is below.

I noticed last night when I was doing a search on Donald Byrd, probably about half of his albums on Tidal are now MQA. I've noticed that with several other artists as well, just like my search for Rush tonight. Quite a few of their's are also MQA.

I now realize that I can't rely on just what Tidal posts in their "Masters" list.

Onkyo music is selling quite a few of the new rush MQA /flac files. Also Led Zeppelin and Alice cooper.
I bought a couple the other day. [emoji445]. So there is more and more popular music being released every day.

I am greatly enjoying MQA files from Tidal through my Roon software, Nucleus Plus and Select II DAC. Most files are significantly better than their Redbook counterpart. I don’t fret whether or not the MQA files on Tidal are better than their High Res. equivalent. I just treat MQA as Tidal’s version of High Res. and all is well.

Looks like you put the money in the digital component where it really matters: the DAC. Congratulations!

Ken, thats exactly what I'm doing with tidal, works for me.
 
The recent David Bowie "Live at Glastonbury 2000" hi-res files from Qobuz appear to play back as MQA on my Oppo 205? I've heard there is some discussion about this at the Roon forums. can anyone here enlighten me?

Initially I am not finding this album in Tidal. Let me look some more.
 
my question related more to discussions at Roon about the Qobuz download, which is described only as "24-48 hi-res", no mention of MQA.

I tested this album from Qobuz Sublime+ streaming to MQA-certified Lumin X1. It is shown as 24/48 FLAC, not recognized as MQA.

I searched Roon forum for "Glastonbury" but am not sure which thread you're talking about. If you still have a link to the thread I can look into this further for you.
