Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Streaming Sooloos Tidal

I’m appalled that I can’t buy any more 78’s for my wind-up gramophone (I do own own one).

I can’t run the latest MacOS operating system on my 7 year-old Mac Mini. Many of my apps no longer work, due to OS developments. That’s life. Technology advancements develop at a startling rate.

A pragmatic attitude to moving on regarding such issues is advisable.

Hi Hector and all

Indeed it’s the Tidal Sooloos thing that drove me back here to seek aid ! I used to main Sooloos for Tidal into my 818/5200s and Tidal no longer works. So I lost most of my MQA access. I’ve plugged a generic Bluetooth receiver to the 818 to play Tidal from my iPad but it’s FLAC and not MQA. Still good SQ though.

I needed help to assess if I went Room Nucleus plus can I get Tidal MQA into my 818 for full decoding? If so what is the source of Tidal? Is it Nucleus itself or I have to connect via iPad?
What’s the hardware connection between Nucleus and the 818, is it a LAN cable?

Besides this option Nav and I were talking about Tidal into 818 via USB, would this allow MQA steaming and full decode? If this is an option then I might needn’t have the Nucleus.

So basically I guess my question is without Sooloos how do I get tidal MQA into my 818 for full decode?

Many thanks as always for the expert advice from you all here.

Hello BengTi
Could I ask how well you rate the sound quality you now receive via your iPad and Bluetooth receiver?

Thanks

Tidal finally stopped working on my QNAP based Sooloos a couple of weeks ago. The albums that I had imported to my library started coming up as "not available for streaming".

Hi,

I imported the new Adele CD onto my MD600 last week via Control:Mac, so still hanging in there.

Less fuss than Roon.
