I can understand your desire for Tidal/MQA + LMS + SB players.  But it
isn’t going to happen.

Logitech’s core business is commodity level components.  Speakers,
keyboards, mice, security cams, etc…  sold by the millions.  They tried
entering the “higher end” consumer products with SqueezeBox audio and
Harmony remotes and even a TV tuner/streamer/recorder (can’t remember
the name), all ended in disaster and Logitech got badly burned. 
Logitech itself is greatly to blame for these disasters, but much of the
issue is simply straying too far from their core business.  I don’t see
Logitech dipping it’s toes back into boutique hardware in any product
category. 

I highly doubt you would get any support or even encouragement from
Tidal (or any licensed / subscription based proprietary streaming
service) for use with LMS.  I think they would all be very skeptical of
any interface with an open source, discontinued, officially no longer
(really) supported by it’s parent (Logitech) server program.  Add in the
necessity to require a third party developer to even make this possible
and you have a very real rats nest of legal and support issues these
streaming services would have zero interest in.  All for a discontinued
and (sadly) declining market share product.

That said, if you really want to pursue this I can only suggest that
*you* spear head the campaign to accomplish your goals.  Contact Tidal
and inquire of their interest/support & NDA requirements.  Then find
those with the knowledge and interest in developing the required app. 
Lots of good developers right in this forum, and those they know outside
of this forum.  But, again, I’d guess their interest level to get
involved is about the same as Tidal & Logitech’s interest to go down
this rabbit hole.
