Title: Tidal Streaming Post by: coliny on April 23, 2023, 05:29:28 pm I have been Tidal Streaming while login for XXHE is out of action. Now I see from Peter's latest post that there may not be a fix for XXHE.
Anyway I am getting good results streaming with the Tidal App using a Cisco CBS110-8T-D ethernet switch, not as good XXHE but definitely better with the switch. I found out about this device on the Fidelizer site, he produces an upgraded version. https://www.fidelizer-audio.com/etherstream-network-switch/ I just bought a standard CBS110-8T-D and made some simple power supply improvements. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/business-110-series-unmanaged-switches/datasheet-c78-744158.html Colin Title: Re: Tidal Streaming Post by: briefremarks on May 02, 2023, 06:44:02 am Colin,
It's quite depressing listening to Tidal or Qobuz streamed after getting used to XXHE/NOS1. I've tried various "tweaks", including getting the switch you mentioned. I'm using the music server (original XXHE PC) as the streamer. Desktop apps to stream. The music is nice, especially Qobuz 24/96 files. But the moment I switch back to XXHE/NOS1, I get quite depressed having to listen to streams on the Tidal or Qobuz app. Useful to discover music.

Just when I think streaming "is sounding good" and then switch back to XXHE/NOS1, I am reminded again of what we have here as playback. Hoping we can someone find a way to prepare files again to play via XXHE.
