Controlling your streaming from your laptop

Hello @twangy57 , you need to download the Auralic Lightening Control App, on an iphone or ipad.

I believe you can also set up the Vega and play from it using the front control and buttons, but it is MUCH easier using Lightening on an ipad.  What model of Vega???

For my eyes, an ipad is the way to go, and if you don't have one, a basic one is not that much.

The Lightening App walks you through finding, connecting and using the Vega.

I don't have a I-pad only a Chromebook.

I been just using my phone to stream Tidal directly to my Auralic streamer,and it sounds pretty good to me.

How much audio quality is lost doing it this way?

I'am considering getting a Google pixie as you can use the Lightning app from Auralic on that.

I just find it much easier to browse from a laptop than a phone.

Thanks

Thanks Fastfrieght,

Are you a trucker by chance?

Seems you are using the phone only as a remote control and that shouldn't affect sound quality...many here, including myself, do this...

Yes,I have heard that with Tidal your phone is just telling tidal what to send to your streamer.

Thanks

Do you know if a Android tablet would work the same way?

Yes, the Android tablet would work the same way.  So would an iPad or iPhone.

Thanks,it might be easier to browse from than my phone.

I have an Samsung s23 phone & recently purchased the  S10 Ultra, which is my phone on steroids. Streaming Qobuz, Tidal, etc. to my Wiim Ultra with ease.
