Tidal now on Squeezebox, no need for Ickstream

I just discovered that the Tidal app has been added to Squeezebox. I have been accessing Tidal HiFi through the Ickstream "helper" app on my Squeezebox Touch, but, after streaming direct through the Tidal app, I have noticeably better resolution than streaming Tidal through Ickstream.

Anybody else added the Tidal app to your Squeezebox player after using Ickstream? Did you experience the same improvement in the quality of resolution?

ncarv...glad to hear that ickstream, (or whoever) finally got the Tidal app done.

I was a beta tester for ickstream with my Squeezebox Duet. However, after about 3 months I got very frustrated with all the dropout issues that I finally gave up and bought a Sonos Connect.

I've had zero problems with it and I think it actually sounds better than the Duet, (when it was working).

I must give kudos to the ickstream team.  They were very responsive and quick to try to help and assist with the problems.

Maybe I'll dig out the Duet and try it again and see if it works and how it sounds.

Thanks for the update!

Seems to be working fine on my (2) Squeezebox Radios.  Haven't tried it on my Duet yet.

cymbop...you need to go to mysqueezebox.com and add it to your list of apps.  Then you need to sign into Tidal from mysqueezebox.com and make sure it shows up where you want it.

cymbop...did you "install" the Tidal app from mysqueezebox.com?  If you did, right under the "install" button is a "configure" button.  You will still need to do that because that is where you log your Squeezebox system(s) into Tidal.  Then once you're in the configure tab there are (2) additional tabs marked "Account Settings" & "Player Settings".
