Maybe someone can answer my question:
Is unfolded MQA´s high frequency hump dangerous for tweeters, amps or human ears?

it's at -50 dB at the inaudible band so no.

Those blind tests included audiophiles, who didn’t fare any better than the “average person”. We like to think we have golden ears, but objective tests have proven otherwise over and over again.The majority of people likely cannot hear the difference between the worst measuring DAC reviewed on this site and the best measuring one. Why should what the average person thinks matter to audiophiles?
Roon is an add-on software player not necessary to play MQA files and it also plays any other file just fine. How on earth is paying for Roon paying for MQA?
Tidal Hi-Fi tier is not just for MQA.
- Premium - $9.99 USD a month with standard sound quality (320 Kbps)
- HiFi - $19.99 USD a month with lossless High Fidelity sound quality (1411 Kbps), Master Quality audio (up to 9216 Kbps), and immersive audio - 360 Reality Audio, Dolby Atmos Music

Let me be clear; I don't pay anything extra for the MQA music file.
So now you'll go to war over HDMI, Dolby, Blu-ray etc because they cost license money for the equipment manufacturers?
You're being silly.
Roon is paying MQA for their service. So you are actually paying MQA with a Roon subscription.How on earth is paying for Roon paying for MQA?
Lossy can also be used to improve sound quality by removing things you don't hear and adding in things you do hear, as in MQA.

Sometimes the money leads to a dead end. We pay MQA to let you “Core Decode” in Roon. We don’t make money directly on MQA, we lose it! However, we do gain customer satisfaction for those who wanted MQA, which is in itself a form of being paid.
It’s crazy how hard we try to stay “Switzerland” when it comes to audio religion, but it’s near impossible sometimes. Damned if we do, damned if we don’t.
I love the business dynamics of how the “masters” tier is free for TIDAL HiFi users. It’s brilliant. TIDAL gets to provide something other than CD quality for the same price (to the subscriber) and the subscriber can’t really complain about free, eh? Our vocal niche here is tiny. TIDAL is gigantic compared to Roon and the audiophile community. There are probably more people on TIDAL that wanted Beyonce’s Lemonade than there are people who know what a DAC is.
I wonder why TIDAL cares. Who were they competing with?
