TIDAL launches lossless casting technology giving BluOS users additional ways to control music on connected devices directly from the TIDAL app. Following a software update on the 20th October 2020, BluOS Enabled players from NAD Electronics, Bluesound, DALI Loudspeakers, and Monitor Audio, will be able to access TIDAL Connect’s HiFi casting technology.
TIDAL Premium users can open the ‘Now Playing’ screen while playing a song, click on the device selector on the bottom left, and choose the TIDAL Connect-enabled device for playback. TIDAL Connect supports the extended audio formats available through TIDAL HiFi, including Master Quality Audio (MQA) and Dolby Atmos.
