TIDAL on Connect playback

Confirm that your exact receiver, speaker, or streamer model supports TIDAL Connect and update its firmware. Support for TIDAL inside a manufacturer app does not automatically mean Connect is supported.

Connect the playback device and controller phone, tablet, or computer to the same local network. Avoid guest Wi-Fi, which may isolate devices.

Sign in to the official TIDAL app with the account shown in your AudiophileStream dashboard.

Start a track in TIDAL and open the device or speaker selector on the Now Playing screen.

Choose the receiver, speaker, or streamer and wait until its name is shown as the active output.

The phone or computer now acts as the controller while the compatible playback device receives the stream directly.

Confirm both devices are on the same Wi-Fi or LAN and that no VPN, guest-network isolation, or access-point isolation separates them.

Allow local-network access for TIDAL in the phone's privacy settings, then fully close and reopen the app.

Restart the streamer and router, update the TIDAL app and device firmware, and check the manufacturer's compatibility page for that exact model.
