Tidal sale is over, Apple was just conducting competitive research to see if they posed a threat to iTunes. It didn't so they had no reason to buy it.
Tidal hasn't done anything on MQA since then.
Stereophile ran an article online a month or so ago explaining that it was hibernating, but that Warner (or some other label) was busy converting their entire back-catalog to MQA.
I've listened to several MQA recordings and find them no better or worse than redbook. Claims of it improving anything in a recording are, as far as I am concerned snake oil and mysticism.
Best,
Erik
