I currently have a HIFI subscription in Tidal, but in the 4stream app it shows me a PREMIUM subscription and High quality (I cannot select HIF quality in this app). Please help me on how to change the quality from High to HFI.
Hi @michalpj Michal,
Welcome to the Forum. I have actually been through the same issue with one of my clients. If you look the way Spotify works (using a technique called Spotify Connect).
On Mobile Devices (Android and iOS)
- PUSH Method - Launch Spotify App then select Arylic as OUTPUT Devive
- PULL Method - Launch 4STREAM APP the select Spotify Service. The UI is the same.
With Tidal the PULL Method has a different more limited UI.
I guess the ultimate solution is for Arylic (or Linkplay) to implement “Tidal Connect”; which does exist. It is obviously more work and they can only do so many things at once. The last time I asked there we no immediate plans to implement Tidal Connect.
By the way you can achieve HIFI Quality by playing from a Laptop by using the Tidal Desktop App or Web Browser Interface.
Hope this helps,
Kevin
Select a song to start playing, and open the Now Playing bar. From here you can see the Tidal streaming quality. Or open Tidal Settings and select Streaming > Quality > HiFi. You can also download Tidal HiFi for offline listening. But it is not convenient for me since I own an MP3 player. So I used Tunelf Tidal Music Converter to help me download Tidal and remove DRM.
