I use an Arcam rPlay which connects directly to my router with an ethernet cable and accepts an Airplay signal from an iPad via Airplay. I'm using it for Amazon Music HD and the iPad has no interaction with the signal, it's just a control for the Amazon Music HD app. The sound is as good or better as playing from a CD through the same Bel Canto DAC. The rPlay is no longer distributed but the Audioengine B-Fi works the same way and I know it works with Qobuz so if the Tidal app on the iPad supports Airplay it should work, as well. It's a less expensive solution to a full-on streamer that's perfectly suited for what I'm doing .
