The TIDAL HIFI Revolution Starts Today

Ansious for Tidal to reach more countries soon.

I see the 19.99/month. Does that include all and unlimited tracks? or that is in addition to tracks you need to purchase?

All inclusive.

Or you can simply use a VPN client and use it from anywhere. I've been using the Hola browser plugin with great success since I read your post and started my subscription. The quality is amazing! I've compared a couple of CDs (via a Classe transport + Exasound e22 + McIntosh amp/preamp + B&W 803Ds) and I can't tell the difference - sometimes I prefer one over the other, but without consistency. So far I'm very impressed.

Love love love!

Signed up for the 7 day trial today. Very impressive. I tried the web client and iPhone app. Sound quality is very good indeed. I'd like to see what it sounds like via my main system. More when I've spent more time with it.

It might be worth subscribing to in that case until i get my software the way i want it....thanks!

Worth investigating.

Thanks for the heads up, Chris! Knew it had to be any day after RMAF...

All inclusive.

Interesting service. The IOS client is one of the best I've seen. Good SQ. Now if they would just integrate it with SONOS it would be a better value proposition for those of us with SONOS systems.

Chris, wondering if you know anything yet about logging in through the Auralic Lightning DS app. I just set up my TIDAL account and it is active. When I try to login to the "WIMP" login window within the DS app, it denies me access. Perhaps it's just not ready to go yet through the Aries. And I realise you might not know, as you've been using WIMP by proxy for a while now. Anyway, thought I'd ask!

Signing up and ready for the Aurender server and iPad software upgrades which integrate Tidal streaming. Aurender demonstrated WiMP (Tidal here) in their private room at RMAF.

Planning to demonstrate this here very soon.

Will receiver manufacturers offer firmware updates to support TIDAL over the network like they do with spotify and other subscription services?

So are you saying that Aurender will be integrating Tidal into their server software (after demoing the integration at RMAF) or that they have already done so? If they have not done so yet, do you know how soon this is coming?

very good no dropouts

this can only grow for the better

real hifi for sure

Dont wait until you get your software the way you want it try on the free trial really good on android but amazing on hifi. Start building your playlist now.

You can import your spotify playlist pay offline and download (no brainer)

This is what I tunes should have done a long time ago

plugged into hifi using usb out of my old desktop mac into Epiphany odac. Basic interconnects basic but good dac for the very little outlay. Just go to settings click hifi it should find your dac (auto) and your away.

I signed in today and up and running in no time, also synced to my android device.

Can you stream TIDAL from a Synology NAS?

I have looked for a Tidal Squeezebox app on mysqueezebox.com and didn't find it. Any word on if it will be added? I have been using WiMP (singed up via vpn) and it works beautifully with squeezebox Touch. I would love to have the slightly cheaper US version for which I would be able to read all of the editorial commentary (I currently see it in German.) But, I am reluctant to give up the Squeezebox compatibility.

Basic question: How does this get to my DAC? I don't remember being able to use the DAC for anything but stored data.

A very basic question: Does their website directly feed into my outboard DAC through my computer software?

Still having issues with my desktop version the Hifi Option is not highlighted. I just checked my internet connection just above 80Mbps. I guess I will have to check what they say.

Sure does if you use something like the newest release of JRiver 20 (with WDM driver for Windows).

I have had a nightmare trying to get Tidal today. They sent me a VIP (30 day trial with cc info) email but when I attempted to re-read the details after registering they told me I am already registered and could then do nothing. They sent me two more emails that were basically "why haven't you finished the process" and I kept trying to tell them via reply emails. Now they have my latest rant (finally got through and they reduced my offer to standard 7 day) in their ticket system. Not impressed so far but they have more issues than me on this first day (nor am I hyped about spending $20/mo but that's me; I have typically used these services for purchase previews so I need to change my approach if I am to justify the $$ ..).

OK. Thanks. I use a Mac Pro with Audirvana. No luck?

I get a signup page saying enter email and will notify you when tidal comes to your country. I am in US...sounds like they need to iron out the bugs.
