Having taken receipt of my RPi4 with Allo DigiOne HAT I am very please with the current version of Volumio and Tidal integration. Yes, Tidal connect is the way to go but isn’t the be all and end all for the current system. As music quality is a high priority to me I am no longer a subscriber to Spotify and just Tidal and Qobuz.
Next we’ll be asking for software based MQA full unfolding.
Is everything ready to go as soon as Tidal approve it, ie you basically just have to press a button and an update with connect will go live? Or is more work required after Tidal respond?
Will Volumio’s TIDAL Connect integration include the option to engage the (software) MQA Core decoder or will it only be certified for passthrough MQA (so still have to get a full MQA decoding DAC for any MQA decoding)?
Just a quick note to share that I appreciate all the updates Volumio is sharing about Tidal Connect In Volumio (and outside the Volumio world) I’ve always loved Spotify Connect, but missed the sound quality of Tidal. This Tidal Connect option seems to be a great solution for it. Looking forward to it.
I’ve purposely avoided this thread for weeks in hopes that when I did check it, I’d see everything is good to go. Looks like I popped in just a bit too early. Understandable.
Thanks everyone for a great music player software. I’ve been using it a bit more recently and it’s really growing on me. Looking forward to Tidal Connect but it’s not a make-or-break feature for me. I’ll give it another couple of weeks and check in again.
TIDAL Connect team has completed the certification check on our implementation, and we are good to go! I shall say that working with the TIDAL Connect team has been a really pleasant experience and TIDAL Connect is really a lovely piece of tech
So, we are preparing everything for release which should happen mid next week
Just updated to buster version 3.066 on rpi and appear a message : tidal connect is ready /)
În tidal app, appear tidal connect volumio it found volumio device. Too bad I am no longer a tidal subscriber, but it is really cool, just another extra cool feature.
This version is a test version for us to check that everything is ok. I don’t suggest to update to test releases now Just few more days and the final release will be out
TIDAL Connect will be available for MyVolumio Virtuoso or Superstar users, not for free users.
This follows our policy for myvolumio features: if it requires a substantial investment and its not already part of free offer, we will make them available for MyVolumio people.
No, you can choose to login on Volumio if you want to browse from Volumio. Otherwise you just select Volumio from TIDAL app (without the need to login)
