Anyone love TIDAL lossless streaming like I do?

I love Tidal. The sound quality from its Hifi mode (lossless) is truly amazing and awesome. I have lot's of SACDs and lossless on even old recordings in 16/44 rivals it. If you felt sorry that there was not enough Hires content, try Tidal.
My little Chord Hugo dac produces sound that is about on par with my EMM XDS1 cdp. The Tidal streaming even sounds better than the Hires downloads I tried from Acoustic Sounds and Musicdirect. I'm not kidding. I hope people support this because I don't want it to go out of business. Please give it a try. I'm just a user and longtime audiophile with no other interest than keeping this remarkable service alive so I and others can use it.

I bought a brand new Mini and new ipad. I get "hifi" quality on Tidal when using the computer and monitor. However, I can't control Tidal with my ipad. When I choose tracks with the ipad the sound comes through the ipad's speakers only. 
My ipad surfs the internet just fine as it and my new Time Capsule "see" each other perfectly.  I just can't control Tidal with the Ipad and make the music come through the main system FROM THE IPAD.
What am I doing wrong?

@devilboy How is your ipad connected to your main system?

@devilboy Ok perhaps some clarification, do you mean an Auralic Aries Mini? If so you need to download the  DS Lightning Server app from Auralic onto your ipad, and then you can control Tidal via that app. I hope that makes sense.

devilboy, it's because when you use tracks on the Ipad, you are using Tidal on Ipad.  See my other post, you can't do it this way (without a seperate app) with Tidal.

You need a 3rd party app, buddy.  I use iPeng for Tidal (I play it through my transporter).
