![]() ![]() Digital: Cambridge CXC / Streaming > Cambridge CXN v2. Analog: MoFi MasterTracker > MoFi UltraDeck > Sutherland 20/20. Already a better user experience, but I'm excited for the true direct integration. TIDAL Connect will be available for Edge NQ, CXN (V2), CXN (V1), CXR120/200, 851N and StreamMagic 6 V2. When I open the Tidal app my CXN appears on the available devices, but it's connected via Chromecast. We are currently working on a soon-to-be-available firmware update that will enable users to stream their favourite tracks at the touch of a button within the TIDAL app. UPDATE from Cambridge Audio: “TIDAL’s new Connect feature is coming to Cambridge Audio’s range of network players. UPDATE from Naim: “We’ll be introducing TIDAL Connect support in 2021 via a free firmware upgrade to our latest generation of streaming products (Mu-so and Mu-so Qb 2nd Generation Uniti Atom, Star and Nova ND 5 XS2, NDX 2, ND 555).” The Tidal Music desktop app can also be played from your PC or Mac through a USB Audio connection to your Cambridge Audio network player. We await further advice from these manufacturers and more. ![]() Hoping for an admin error on Tidal’s part, I updated my Cambridge CXN (V2) and Naim Uniti Atom to their latest respective firmwares…but no dice: neither appear inside the Tidal app as an available Tidal Connect device. 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?
