Tidal Connect Support?

@BorisM we will agree to disagree. Tidal Connect is table stakes. And BlueOS has gone HD - with them buying MQA, etc.

HiFi Rose is a beautiful system. I absolutely LOVE how they do HD video (which I use a lot). This is just an annoying niggle of epic proportions.

As for letting the babysitter blow out my speakers, well past those days. The only one who is going to blow out the speakers is me … and the good thing is that they are Amati G5s. They will blow out my ear drums before they blow out :slight_smile:

EverSolo has a phone screen, and runs regular phone apps. They didn’t even need to write anything too special. If you are happy with EverSolo’s screen size, just use Tidal’s phone software on it, Connect and everything. Not like anyone could hear any difference anyway.

If you want to use Rose, with its rather uncommon screen ratio and custom app infrastructure, then you have to wait for Connect support to be developed, including jumping through whatever hoops Tidal wants them to jump through.

Should there be Tidal Connect support? Probably, seems to be something enough people want, especially when they have no ethical objections to supporting highly unpleasant personalities behind the service. Is it so easy to do that it should just appear when you snap your fingers? No.

has anyon tried running a WIIM, BS Node or any other streamer digitally into the Rose? I am thinking of overcomming the lack of Tidal connect/weak Rose App this way…
Any consioderations about potential sound loss because of just using another Streamer?
I intend to use Rose’s DAC still.

This is the option only if you use HiFI rose internal DAC. You can connect Wiim opticaly or via coax S/PDIF connection. Maybe even via USB. I have both, HiFi Rose 250A and Wiim Ultra, but they are both connected to RME DAC. Works perfectly, Wiim has Deezer support (which uses my wife), Rose has Youtube and video out. I rarely use Tidal connect, but it comes handy sometimes, so I use Tidal mostly over Rose. Rose has much better radio support than Wiim. Both devices have some cons and pros and they supplement each other really good.
