Meanwhile tidal already has better quality at the same price.
MQA is literal garbage, so no, Tidal doesn't.
Qobuz and Deezer do however.
What is MQA?
It's been a long time since the MQA controversy but I remember this was a great video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRjsu9-Vznc
IIRC Tidal basically applies subjective post-processing onto the lossless files and pretends they sound better.
Tidal proprietary lossy codec, that they advertized as lossless.

Snake oil at best.
and integrates with Plex, so I can self host my own high quality library and truly use tidal as an exploring platform
Really!? That's interesting.
That's been my whole hangup so far is finding an easy, unified way to play my files either from devices at home or from the phone while I'm on the go, and still have Playlists and metrics all associated.
But I hate plex though
