Another observation and conclusion:
MQA is THE solution against loudness war . Because heavily clipped tracks contain square waves which cannot be MQA encoded. So the mastering is forced to avoid clipping, otherwise the track may not find its way to Tidal.
I don't think so. The loudness war is played out in pop music, and compression is often applied too. Digital clipping is a mastering problem, perhaps more common than we think, but if MQA was more broadly adopted we might just get a little more care in mastering, or just more compression.
