Here investigating Tidal, one month free HIFI subscription.
Raspberry PI 4 & HifiBerrt Digi+pro & MoodeAudio 7 & Hi-Res certified speaker.
I have been reading full post, internet research and other forums. For me it's clear that Tidal DRM and MQA is the problem.
Tidal is a business but they are too avaric. There aren't only invoicing for the service (that's fine) but also to HW manufacturer and SW developers for the availibility to play their music in their devices. The second in my opinion is abusive. I believe and I hope Tidal will subreshly fail in their strategy that is old fashion.
They are expecting to pay 20€/month for Hifi + specific HW MQA enabled (canon for manufacturer). In Android Master quality change to CD Quality when playing with BulbleUpn. Make no sense to pay for Master in a mobile if you can't connect to Hi-Res equipment since source to speaker.
The world is full of alternatives, we shouldn't help them in their strategy. Clients are who will decide. I share the approach here of Moode's developers not supporting activly Tidal/MQA.
I personally prefer to buy FLAC Master music directly and share with my friends.Like we were doing in 90's with Compac Disk.
I have also seen some "hacks" from some unknow binary source in order to do a "Connect device" in Raspberry that as soon as it become popular Tidal has change their SW to avoid it working. But if I pay and I need to do this kind of things I perfer to do like in 2000's sharing music with "a lot of friend" in Emule and donate some money to MoodeAudio that are free source code and fair.
Spotify works perfectly as "Connect" with premium accounts out of the box for example
