However, in addition to KEF, Bluesound, NAD, Monitor Audio and DALI, Tidal’s list of supported devices, filtered by Tidal Connect, includes Naim and Cambridge whilst simultaneously pointing us at each manufacturer’s own streaming app: Cambridge’s Stream Magic and Naim’s Naim. Hello DALI active loudspeakers, wassup NAD M33 and M10 super-integrateds and how’s it going Monitor Audio IMS-4? I’ve confirmed with my own eyes and ears that Tidal Connect works with the KEF LS50 Wireless II and the Bluesound Node 2i, the latter suggesting that any BluOS-controllable device running up-to-date firmware should be Tidal Connectable. Which streaming devices currently support Tidal Connect? MacOS and Windows users are also invited to the Tidal Connect party. “One of”? Oh – does it work with Tidal’s desktop apps? No more manufacturer-coded streaming apps, no more Roon, no more Plex and no more Audirvana. It gives us something that Spotify Connect currently does not: the ability to stream CD-quality and hi-res content – in addition to its less-often discussed lossy tier – from the comfort of our couch and without relying on third-party integrations. Neither is supported by Google’s Chromecast. Two reasons: 1) Gapless playback 2) MQA Masters. Why would I use Tidal Connect instead of Chromecast? Unlike Apple AirPlay and Bluetooth, Tidal Connect streams do not travel through the smartphone or tablet on their way to the paired network streamer. Click to pair - the music stream will be moved from the smartphone to the paired device. Tidal Connect devices appear alongside Chromecast devices. Pull up the Tidal app, push play on some music and click the ‘available devices’ button in the bottom left. Norwegian streaming service Tidal has announced that its Tidal Connect programme has jumped the Sonos fence and will eventually appear on selected streaming devices from KEF, Lyngdorf, Bluesound, NAD, DALI, Monitor Audio, Cambridge Audio and, eventually, Naim.Įssentially, it’s like Spotify Connect - but for Tidal.
