First of all, streaming would be done through MinimStreamer rather than MinimServer. Secondly, TIDAL Masters can currently only be played through TIDAL's own PC app client. Any other APIs have not been opened up yet. Last but not least, there are not that many MQA songs yet in the catalogue. TIDAL is still converting.

That said, usually integration of TIDAL or Qobuz happens in the control apps rather than the streamer; so in apps like Lumin, Bubble, Kazoo, etc.

As an aside, I'm currently not clear whether MQA playback will require a (paid) license.
