I recently started my free trial of Tidal, and have been focused primarily on MQA files. I am unfolding these with an Audioquest Dragonfly Red. Overall I’m pretty satisfied with the Dragonfly and MQA. Here are the MQA albums I’ve been impressed with.

Fleetwood Mac- Rumors - dynamic, punchy, and engaging
Eagles - Hotel California - a little forward sounding on my system, but dynamic and clean
The Velvet Underground - Loaded - sonically not in the same category as Rumors, but clean, clear, and fun to listen too.
Chris Stapleton From A Room - dynamic, punchy and engaging

On my MQA listen too list
The Black Keys
ZZ Top

I’ll list more as I have time to listen through them. Share your favorites.

The first three ZZ Top LPs are very nice sounding, especially if your previous digital exposure to them was that 6 Pack box set.
 
I’ll add another one to my list.

Deep Purple Machine Head - I’ve listened to it about 5 times in the last week. Killer! Lazy is so clear and dynamic. The whole album really sounds great.
