Sorry to burst your bubble:

Don't get my wrong I also have some MQA gear, but cannot deny reality either.

You listen to tidal tracks on flac instead of mqa because you find it sounds better? Idk i find more distortion in the flac tracks than the mqa

At this point, a well encoded flac (i.e. not a folded mqa) is demonstrably better. This is not a matter of opinion or perception. Is like saying that 24bit is higher res than 16bit. You may not care or hear it, it just is.
However, I'm not arguing against mqa, I just want the liberty of not using it. It's lack of quality is just my reason for not wanting it.
