Hi,
As this thread captures the same subject I and many others seem to be exploring, and since has been dormant for a while, I hereby respectfully hijack and expand it a little. I'm looking to stream Tidal Master/Hi-res to my Squeezebox Touch or any other player(like Raspberry Pi), the same way we today can play Flac files up to 24/192kHz, with different, but still better quality output, depending on the player(i.e. Touch I believe outputs 24/96 max). Having crawled both this forum and the internet extensively, I've so far found 3 potential, but still unsuccessful ways to achieve this: 1. Develop the native MSB Tidal plugin to support streaming Tidal 24/96-192 directly (mherger?) 2. Using the Tidal Windows application on a server and stream via "Stereo mix"/a vurtual audio cable and the Waveinput plugin, remote controlled from the phone by Unified Remote, or similar 3. Some setup involving OpenHome, BubbleUPnP etc. 1. Would be the best solution, but I'm uncertain if it's any hope holding one's breath until this happens? (mherger etc.?) 2. I almost get this to work, but I can't get wavinput to relay the 24/192 stream from Tidal via VAC above 16/44,1 without producing buffer and white noise issues, even though I'm under the impression from for instance the official plugin page ande differend forums, that it can be done. 3. I haven't tried yet, but found some promising posts on the web without complete instructions. I'm also a bit sceptical about installing too much extra on my server outside the Squeezebox ecosystem. As the common and thread goal is to get Tidal's(or other streaming services') Hi-Res/Master stream to play with the highest resolution possible on our players, and with the least amount of work/resistance, and the highest ease of use possible, and inside the Squeezebox ecosystem, I'm hoping people could share their thoughts and tips in this thread, by: I. Posting complete and detailed instructions for any of the above 3 suggested Methods II. Post maybe existing alternative methods with complete and detailed instructions III. Upvote or in other ways inspire/motivate/continue the work of the in-house gurus on method no. 1 - The official Tidal plugin. I hope for a populated, alive and motivated forum thread with many good ideas and ultimately a solution to get Hi-Res/Master sound from our streaming services and easily out of our different Squeezebox players!
