Best Transport for Tidal

I am currently running Tidal via the Sonus Connect. Using a
co-ax to my Ma5200 Amp. Is there a better transport I can
use to get the best quality out of Tidal, or is this the
maximum I can get out of Tidal.

Sonus Faber Olympica II
Emotiva Speaker and Co-AX Cables

Thx, Mofi. I'm running LMS on my MusicVault so I'll check out those links and see what happens.

Here's my setup: Tidal App downloaded to my iPad from iTunes. iPad connected to an Oppo BDP 103D via HDMI adapter. Oppo is then hooked up to an Auralic Vega via SDIF connection. Sounds wunderbar!

Would there be much difference between Sonos, Bluesound, or Ipad, for Tidal use only, if runnung through DAC on Aesthetix Romulus? Thanks

Beshair...I never tried the USB, but I did compare the coax and optical outputs of the Sonos Connect. I found the coax to be much better sounding. I tried several different optical cables, but really didn't like it.
