Using Tidal Connect on a raspberry pi without Volumio

[chinndog]

Is Tidal Connect via pCP still capped at 44.1kHz/16-bit? Is there a better OS solution in 2024 for native Tidal and Qobuz without similar limitations that isn't paid for (Volumio)

Thanks, but does WiiM supply an open-source OS you can use on a Pi? Looking specifically for an OS to use on my Pi 4 setup, or perhaps an Intel NUC

everyone wants free but for Tidal Connect the only free are hacks, and not recommended

For a Pi4, pay 60 euros a year for Volumio - it is official supported Tidal Connect.

Volumio probably has to pay Tidal fees

You can get Tidal Connect straight from the Tidal app - on Moode, Volumio, Hifiberry, using Docker. Im using it on a Moode.

If it's the docker image I think it is then @Music1969 is right - it's using software ripped from an iFi streamer firmware.

Wanna lot of troubles and like to play with raspbery - you`re on good way.
Want cheap fire and forget solution - choose something from wiim palette as it was already recommended here. I have pro but I have good external DAC, and wiim in my setup is bullet proof reliable with nice to use versatile software. And test with my dac confirm it is bitperfect!
If no dac - I would probably choose pro plus.

I played raspberry pi 4 with different experiments to reach Tidal and finished on payed volumio subscription. As they rised price I recalculated that by selling off raspberry and buying a little more expensive wiim I'll receive the same quality Tidall access but for completely free.
