I don’t have the equipment to use MQA so I have never tried it

@Womaz, I agree with you on the positive experience and on how Tidal transformed they way I enjoy music. In my system I have the Aurender X100L with TIdal integrated and the sound is impeccable and i rarely experience the dropouts you started to face lately. i suggest you get your network optimized as you suggested. On the go I currently use LG V30+ which is hailed as one of the best sounding andriod smarphones out there. it does a very decent job.

@BoyScout, For MQA, you need to have an MQA enabled DAC. MQA is designed in a way that it will still play on any DAC, but you won't get the full resolution and bandwidth unless you use a MQA DAC capable of unfolding the MQA file.
