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?

You could check the firmware on your SBT, but the firmware hasn't changed in years.

I would suggest installing EDO on the SBT to get higher rez playback:

Then update your LMS to the nightly build (7.9.2 currently)

I am running LMS on Ubuntu with a SBT in the bedroom talking to an NAD D3020  and a Mytek via USB in the living room.

I run LMS on a Innous Zenith and a Synology NAS. 
  • The Zenith is in my main system, it is synchronized with a SqueezeBox Duet connected to a secondary system in my rec room.
  • The Synology NAS is connected to a Raspberry PI in my home office and 4 AirPlay speakers via the AirPlay bridge plugin in the family room, living room, and guest bedroom. 
I synchronize them all when I want true whole house stereo.

The Zenith plays MQA through my NAD M12 pre/dac.  I love the sound.

I replaced my squeezebox/computer set up with an Aurender N10 and the sound improvement is absolutely amazing.
