I am about to test if i am actually getting the right bandwith when streaming from Tidal. If not - no need to pay the extra bucks.
But i can not find that information anywhere in controllers:
I find the status page for the players:
http://x.x.x.x:1400/status
But no - I can not find that information here? Anyone?

There’s no longer anywhere in the very restricted x.x.x.x:1400/status diagnostic to discern the format/bandwidth.
Depending on the service, the controller may display the format (Deezer: “FLAC” vs “MP3”, Amazon: “UHD” vs “HD” vs “<no label>”) but I don’t believe it does with Tidal.
Your best bet would be to measure the actual stream bandwidth. Some routers offer this facility.
Just in case you weren’t aware: Sonos doesn’t support Tidal’s MQA, and almost certainly (and thankfully) never will.

TIDAL HiFi - Lossless FLAC 16bit/44.1kHz
TIDAL Premium - AAC 320kbps
The OP is no doubt aware of that. The question is what bitrate Tidal is actually streaming at. When I evaluated it back in 2014/2015 I spotted a significant amount of AAC content on the ‘HiFi’ service. (There was even some at 96k, but hopefully that’s long gone.)
+24You can use my PC app (see profile) to see the bitrate that a stream is using from many music services (on S2).
