1. Only via Tidal through the in house system using the PC application. Admittedly, that uses modest gear as compared with my music system.
2. Compared "HIFI" vs "MASTER" versions of a couple different recordings. Either find little difference or discover they were sourced from different masters.
Have no interest with upgrading my DACs to support MQA.
