I use a Node 2i to stream from a 2 bay synology NAS and Tidal. No need for all that other nonsense. Oh, and ethernet will spoil you over the sound you get from wifi.

Sorry my bad explanations.
I meant I use WiFi just for communication between everything mobile wise.
I am direct Ethernet from my modem down to my Ayre EX8.
And the NAS and PC are all on the same wired network for access .
Seems like a quick reaction saying Amazon killed Tidal.
i took the 90 day free trial and okay Amazon is decent and cheaper which may be enough to tip the scales for lots of folks,

However when I did an A/B comparison of the same song switching from Tidal to Amazon back and forth, Tidal sounded a bit more even handed on my system, Amazon seem to have a little too much energy in the upper mids and highs (for my taste). Trust me if I can save a buck or two usually you can count me in, so far I’m not convinced this is a good move for me. 
Of course YMMV.

Exdmd, that’s my experience to a T.  I also notice that if you don’t adjust the sample rate, it’s upsampling everything which sounds worse than if readjusted to the actual rate.

I’m enjoying Qobuz Hi-Res more thanTidal MQA as well.  It sounds better to me and I like that there is more Hi-Res than MQA for my musical tastes.  Overall, I think Qobuz sounds best. Ymmv
