Tidal now on Squeezebox, no need for Ickstream


I just discovered that the Tidal app has been added to Squeezebox. I have been accessing Tidal HiFi through the Ickstream "helper" app on my Squeezebox Touch, but, after streaming direct through the Tidal app, I have noticeably better resolution than streaming Tidal through Ickstream.

Anybody else added the Tidal app to your Squeezebox player after using Ickstream? Did you experience the same improvement in the quality of resolution?

I’m in business!  Had to do a factory reset on the Touch in order to re- log into mysqueezebox.com from the Touch.  Can’t wait to give a close listen tonight.
Very excited about this development.  Have been using Ickstream for six months with very few problems.  I have installed the new Tidal app but cannot get it to show up in My Apps or anywhere on my Touch itself.  Computer audio has taught me a great deal about patience.
Thanks, Mofi!  At mysqueezebox.com I'm seeing Tidal in My Apps but there's no prompt to sign into Tidal from there.  Does Ickstream need to be deleted perhaps?  (Was looking forward to having them both to A/B the quality.)
