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.
