Tidal and Squeezebox


In case there are other Squeezebox users out there who were wondering about this...I can tell you it works beautifully.

Linked up my Tidal account through Squeeze server; playing perfectly over home network to Squeezebox Touch into external DAC. Just when I was about to mothball the Squeezebox, it lives again!

As an added bonus, using SqueezeCtrl Android app (by AngryGoat) i'm fully able to remote control Tidal/Squeezebox. This was the solution i've been looking for! Now I just need to find another Squeezebox Touch. 

The Squeeze was way ahead of its time.

Has anyone else stumbled onto this yet?

I’m not familiar with the dragonfly setup but here is a quote from a user on another site:

“Setup for my various Squeezebox Touch was a pain. Need to use the Enhanced Audio Output app, need an USB hub and the gain of the Dragonfly is based on the OS's volume (SBT uses Linux) which is too low by default so have to go it and adjust. It took a while to figure everything out…”

i had heard some of the usb powered dacs need a powered usb hub to operate in this setup though I was able to use a Meridian Explorer 2 without any issues.  I do run my Touch with a Welbourne LPS, but not sure that makes any difference for powering the DAC via the usb plug when implementing EDO.
Instead of another Touch, I recommend a Raspberry Pi with piCoreplayer.  Very easy to put together and set up.  And a Digi+ card if you want S/PDIF output.

dpac996--Did you install the Angry Goat app on your phone, tablet or what (I am a little new at this so please excuse if this is a stupid post)?  I have n Amazon Fire tablet and would love to use a TIDAL controller on it for my Squeezebox Touch.  Any help appreciated.
Also, anyone, if you use an external DAC with the SB Touch (say the USB Meridian Explorer 2) can you get MQA to play on the Touch?
