I don’t think you need to use tidal connect. You should be logging into tidal from the BluOS once to set it up. From that point forward you should be streaming with BluOS from your smart phone or tablet.
Bluesound Node 2i with Denafrips Ares ii
I recently decided to improve my streaming experiance by adding an out board DAC, Denafrips Ares ii, to my Node 2i whilst keeping the Node as a streamer. The set is an improvement but the Ares only see music files as 44.1 by x1 even when hi res files are being played. I think there is some conflict with BluOS and Tidal apps but cannot solve the problem. In the BluOS Settings - Audio, I have turned on the Digital Passthrough and turned off the Audio Clock Trim but the problem still exists.In Settings under Player how should the WiFi be set? the Configure Wireless shows the name of my router. What should the Customize Sources be set to? there are three options here, Bluetooth, which is set to Automatic, and Analog Input and Optical Input that I have not messed with. When in Tidal and I select the input device, little speaker on the top right of the screen, I get the option of iPhone and Airplay & Bluetooth so I pick the latter which gives me the option of the iPhone and the Node so I pick the Node. But when I pick the Node I sometimes get the message 'AirPlay- Unable to connect to "Node 2i - stereo". Should I start Tidal from inside the BluSO app or should I start it in the Tidal app? This is all incredibly frustrating; time to put some vinyl on the Linn.

@dcblr you probably didn't need to uninstall and reinstall the tidal app, you should have uninstalled and reinstalled the bloesound app. My node 2 does this all the time. |
audphile, From my understanding if I do not use Tidal Connect I have to use the Airplay & Bluetooth option on the iPhone Tidal app which will not give me the hi-res files. invalid, Thanks for the advice on which app to delete/re-install. I will try those actions woth the Bluesound app next time I have issues. |
