RE: MQA (as I understand it) works only with streaming services or downloads...

Truth is that 2L has many 96/24 piano recordings that sound like live pianos. No need for MQA encoding to save a few bits.

If you are streaming, there may be some benefit to the format if your bandwidth is limited to 44/24. You will get some portion of the additional quality available at 96/24 compared to 44/24. However, most people stream background music, rather than listening critically, making small sonic differences irrelevant. Streaming is, by its nature, incompatible with audiophile activities, which includes critical listening, including tweaking the playback, comparing equipment, etc., none of which can really be done with something like a "live" stream.
