Best Transport for Tidal


I am currently running Tidal via the Sonus Connect. Using a
co-ax to my Ma5200 Amp. Is there a better transport I can
use to get the best quality out of Tidal, or is this the
maximum I can get out of Tidal.

Cerrot- I think you'll like the modwright transport. I'm using one to play files from my Musicvault server and it also sounds pretty darn good w the Pandora1 (the higher bit-rate service). Can someone tell me in fairly basic terms what I need to do to get this ickstream/tidal thing going. Right now I have jriver on my music server which is wired to my wireless router and the MW transport connects wirelessly to the router. I'd love to give tidal a try.
Thx, Mofi. I'm running LMS on my MusicVault so I'll check out those links and see what happens.
Thx, Scifi. I may just do that. I installed the ickplayer plug-in and installed the tidal player on my MV server. Now I see ickstream under My Apps on my transporter, but Tidal is nowhere to be found.
I got it going but I'm getting a dropout about every 10-20 seconds. I'll probably turn it over to Neal tomorrow.
I realized that I still had the Tidal player running on the MV. When I shut that down this a.m. it seemed much better. I'm streaming wirelessly from the MV to a MW Transporter and I have all of my CDs ripped to the MV, so I'm not about to trash that set-up for Sonos. If I can't get tidal to work right, I'll drop it. I know it's heresy, but I really enjoy listening to Pandora. No commercials and very acceptable SQ. So I'll live happily w that if that's the only thing that works.
