Hi Frihed.
We're not likely *ever* going to see a situation where you or I will have access to the encoding software for MQA. This is Meridian/MQA's trade secret sauce licensed to the music industry and folks like Tidal. Only people able to "authenticate" the sound will be able to encode into this format.
Of course the whole "authentication" idea makes no sense for Tidal! I mean, unless they just push all their hi-res and have it encoded into MQA, just how many songs can then they play in MQA at the start that has actually been meticulously "de-blurred" with information from the studio about the original ADC, DSP processing, etc. that could have affected the temporal domain!?
