It seems Aurender cannot be bothered implementing this (it has been 18 months since original post). In my own "home-office" I'm using a simple Kef LSX setup with Tidal Connect. The user experience is so much better for Tidal users compared to the bloated Conductor app in my hifi setup. Other vendors are much more supportive (quicker) to implement and improve their devices and software. Aurender must realise their initial focus on providing an optimal user experience for those with large local libraries is shifting to an audience which is using streaming services as their main music source (I have not even installed local storage on my N20). The whole music streaming service integration almost seems like some sort of "afterthought" on top of Conductor. Look for example on the way Innuos has built its Sense app around streaming services.

Is there really no update from Aurender on this? I'm confused, I feel like I bought the wrong product. I thought I bought from a brand that is serious about music and sound quality and assumed a true Tidal Connect implementation would be somewhat a priority.

16 months and counting?! Surely I cannot be the only one has serious issues with how bad Tidal is integrated in the Conductor app. All those newly added Tidal tabs (in Conductor) even make it more confusing and messy. The current Tidal integration and the (outdated) Conductor UI restrictions make it feel forced and bloated. I only stay with Aurender for its sound quality on my N20 (and build quality) but NOT for its Conductor app (which is so stuck in its ways that it needs a complete UI overhaul in my pov).

11 months since the original post and still no Tidal Connect on recent Aurender N devices. I got a brief response from Aurender saying that currently only the A1000 supports Tidal Connect because Tidal told them to implement it using Google Cast (which the other Aurender devices don't support).

What is the status please on this long overdue feature? You support Qobuz Connect but not Tidal Connect which is rather strange …

Please add Tidal Connect! For users like me, that only stream from Tidal. A1000 supports Tidal Connect, so why other devices can't? Every Aurender supports Qobuz Connect, so why not Tidal Connect? Please help users like me. Don't let us feel like we are not important to the Aurender Team. I am looking to upgrade my n150. I like its sound very much, but the absence of Tidal Connect make me look elsewhere unfortunately.

Please!!

PLEASE YES, this would be very welcome. Won't be surprised if "native" playback via Conductor still sounds better, but the convenience of Connect would wonderful when wanted.
