For those who heard a difference between Tidal Connect and Tidal via Lumin app, please kill / force stop the Tidal app after starting playback. See if the SQ improves, and let me know.
Killing the Tidal app will not affect your Tidal Connect play queue because it’s in the cloud.

Just upgraded. Doesn’t seem to have any negative effect on direct attached hard drives.

Thank you for the update!
In my case, there is no discernible audio difference.
There are 2 radio stations that does not play. Lumen displays all station info except for the last line, stream info.
WUOT-HD2. http://tun.in/seAEU
ETV, http://tun.in/seqUk
BBC World Service now plays just fine; used to cause some strange behavior both in the app and Lumen.
Overall, 14.0 is a welcome upgrade...

Tidal does not have their Connect services quite right yet.
Queue should exist on their server, not each Connected device.
So Lumen app has its own as does Tidal app. They are not aware of each other.
This is a major shortcoming.
Tidal needs to study Spotify Connect; even their public web API has one call to add-to-queue.
Disappointed.

Tidal Connect queue in Tidal app is indeed on the cloud server.
Lumin app Tidal playlist is an OpenHome playlist, it is not Tidal Connect. Lumin app playlist and Tidal app queue are indeed distinct from each other.

It's strange, but I've got the same impressions. From Lumin app, or even from Linn Kazoo sound is better (resolution, 3D, soundstage) than from Tidal connect.
The latest LUMIN firmware brings TIDAL Connect to X1 / T2 / U1 / U1 MINI. TIDAL Connect is a new way to play TIDAL on LUMIN using the TIDAL App.
Simply choose LUMIN as your playback device from within the app.
Other v14 enhancements
Updated MQA decoding
Front panel display now shows Qobuz/Spotify/TIDAL text when streaming from those sources
Other minor enhancements and fixes
Firmware v14 is available to download now from our servers. Most users will receive a prompt when they next start the LUMIN App.
For manual update, or for instructions about how to enable automatic updates, see this page from our Online Manual
