For sure @StandardModel … for sure. A lifetime of buying things before buying them as that is the “fun”. Well said on techno-masochists … MKVs … early ripping to create playlists on CDs … for sure (to the chagrin of those in our households who say “Why is this different? It was finally working”)
Michael,
Is there a techno- addicts anonymous chapter I can join?
In my household I serve the master who is a Latin and Greek classics scholar (retired professor) and who does not appreciate anything with “wires”.
I feel your pain.

I can see utility in that; I do a similar thing with Roon from a local library and Qobuz. Alas, Tidal does not make it as easy as you’d think it should be…
@ROSEHAN @roseloa any updates? Been using my HiFiRose 150B for a couple months now and frankly … it is a clunky trying to use your app (which does not effectively bring over my lists) versus when I just want to use Tidal.
Any updates on Tidal Connect?

I would buy the 130 streamer if Tidal connect was supported.

sooo much !
e.g. changing the same stream with several devices, nice algorithms, better UI, playlists/favourites kept (system sync just doesn’t work propperly) to name a few.

@ROSEHAN so what is the status on Tidal Connect? I see lots of updates to the software but NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE - TIDAL CONNECT. Any news here? @ROSELOA

This update will here never happen.
The same goes for Airplay II.
Believe me, I found out… 
@ROSEHAN @ROSELOA Please could you provide an update on the status of Tidal Connect. And if you don’t have an update or if Tidal Connect is not prioritised for you right now, please let us know that. Would be very helpful for a lot of your existing and potential customers.
Thank you in advance!

when will tidal connection finally be available??? All other much cheaper devices have it. What about you? your devices are among the most expensive streamers on the market and lack a basic function. Your tidal app is hopeless, we want tidal connect. when when when?

I have to agree with the requests for the past few years that Hifi Rose incorporate Airplay II, or at least fix Airplay which is so broken with skips and stutters it’s unusable, as well as incorporate Tidal Connect. The Hifi Rose app for Tidal is pretty bad.
Sound quality of the Hifi Rose 250ra is superb, no issues there, love it for that.
I’ve decided to sell my Hifi Rose because I can’t do the two simple things other inexpensive streamers can do very well.
Cheers,
Anthony

I am really surprised that HiFi Rose have not provided an update on the implementation of Tidal Connect as it is one of the most talked about missing functions.
Tidal in the HiFi Rose app is pretty basic compared to other manufacturer’s and doesn’t fit well with such an expensive piece of equipment.

I agree, Tidal interface on HiFi Rose is very limited, and somewhat convoluted, Tidal does a great job in categorizing music, not sure why the limitation on HiFi Rose software. Too bad, such a great sounding product, such basic implementation of the User Interface.
I sold a really nice Simaudio 280D to switch to the 250ra, not saying it was an upgrade honestly, the Simaudio had a great interface and a seamless Tidal Connect.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
We are working hard to support Tidal Connect. However, Tidal does not provide any help. We have to solve that problem ourselves. Please understand even if it takes time.
Well if I’m not mistaken it’s the first time Rose mentions they are actively working on tidal connect, which is a great news. Hopefully it doesn’t take too long.
Like many, I think this is the most expected feature for the Rose streamers. Can we get some details ? Is the plan to support it on all models ?
What are the problems you are facing ? Maybe there are people with connections at Tidal who could help ?

Please consider adding Tidal Connect. People buy the Hifi Rose to listen to Hifi audio, which means the majority of your users are using Tidal. Every other source can be controlled through the native app except Tidal, which seems odd given the audience. Adding Tidal Connect would allow users to use the native Tidal app, which everyone here would prefer. No one bought the Rose for the app. Please focus on hardware and integrate with native apps to provide the best of both worlds.

I come from an Eversolo and sold it, because of the buggy software. I consider to buy the RS130, but without Tidal Connect and Apple AirPlay II I see no investment of 5 K €. Without streaming Tidal Connect and other streaming services like SoundCloud, 5 K€ are not appropriate. Hope you will improve this. Then I buy one.
We’re working hard to support Tidal Connect and Apple AirPlay 2. It is difficult to answer with certainty that it will be added in the future.

Hello! I know when Rose Add Tidal Connect to their poducts!
NEVER!
They are lazy as …k. Cambridge, Marantz, Nuprime, Lumin add this to their old product.
Cheap products as Wiim for 100-300 usd had Tideal Connect. They are lazy and laughing that you buy your rose RS250A for 2,500 usd and still has no TC.
Very poor software update.
