My Oppo 105 finally bricked. Streamer suggestions?

Have 2 oppos 103 and 105. mConnect lite does circumvent the recent Tidal app upgrade problem. Any way to make the search feature less aggravating? Must use the back arrow until you reverse all of the searches you did during that listening session. Must be an easier way to get back to the original Tidal home page?

I have the exact same issue and mconnect lite was the work around. Not sure about the sound quality

OK, here’s the latest.  Tidal updated their end.  It will not work with the Oppo app.  Tidal says there is no way to go back to an earlier version to work with the Oppo app.

Oppo says they will not be updating their app.  They say MconnectLite is what to use.

That does work.

There is nothing else that currently will work with the Oppo player.

If you haven’t done anything yet, my recommendation would be the Node only because I used one with both an Ares and Gumby with great success. You could pickup an older one for a few hundred dollars or a new one for a few hundred more. Since you will only use it as a streamer I’d opt for a used one to save a few hundred. Then what I’d also recommend is use the money saved to upgrade the power supply in the Node. It really improves the performance of a Node and it’s pretty simple to do yourself. Whether you upgrade the power supply or not the Node will beat the pants off a 105 and also give you the ability to stream a lot more than Tidal.

There are a number of micro PC solutions that could fit the bill once you decided on the software.

I use Roon and for ~ $300 you can buy a unit which can be the core and end point. Any other streaming software would also work:
