Have a brief listen. Playing through Lumin app sounds better to me compared to tidal connect.
More air and engaging to me
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.

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...
Will be upgrading this morning.
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.

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.

my mini will not update through app on 1.4a
Mike..Dave smith here.. not sure about the Tidal Connect thingy..when I open the Tidal app on my iMac I can see the TC icon in the group at the bottom of the home page.Not sure what that means or how it got there.i have not received a firmware upgrade prompt.How do I check for what version I currently have.....I even reloaded the app and still no v14
Got to witness my first lumin firmware update….and yes, it was everything i thought it would be! :yahoo1:
My X1 updates automatically when I turn it on, everything works fine. Thanks
I also have not been able to upgrade to the new firmware with my T2.
Edit: Firmware update service is just resumed.
Cool, 14a is available and installed
Hi Peter
It works fine in my Android smartphone but I don’t see the T2 logo in my iPad…
Any thoughts?
On u1 Mini everythig is OK
Hi
Updating my T2 was successful.
My IPad Pro, Lumin, TIDAL App is all Updated.
But I cant See Lumin T2 on TIDAL Devices.
Only in the AirPlay Area I can See the T2.
Rebooting Wlan on iPad and Pushing the TIDAL App does not help.
Any Ideas ?
Same issue
Tidal on android smartphone shows T2 icon
But iOS on iPad doesn’t, only on airplay…
Also after rebooting all the chain
Hi Peter
My A1 updates automatically when I turn it on, everything works fine.
Front panel display now shows Spotify/TIDAL text when streaming from those sources.
Many thanks to all Lumin Team
Hope to be able to use Tidal Connect in future updates if possible.
Now it worked !
Shutting T2 down
Push Lumin App and TIDAL App away
Shutting IPad down
Turn Lumin On
Turn IPad on
Open TIDAL App
That‘s it ;-)
the new version appeared tonight..Thanks Peter.tried all the moves above and still do not see the TC icon anywhere
Please power down the whole network, starting from the WiFi router, and include the iPad and Lumin, Roon Core, etc. Then power them up.
If you can access the router setting, multicast routing and IGMP Proxy needs to be on.
Important:
In iOS system setting for TIDAL, you need to Allow TIDAL to Access "Local Network" and "Background App Refresh".
small update - after upgrade firmware from 14 into 14a Tidal became unavailable on Linn Kazoo desktop app - I can see and play downloaded queue, but in source section I've got only Qobuz, Internet radio and my NAS :-/
Where can I find those settings?
where do I find that ' local Network and Background App Refresh'.......when I access the Tidal app through my iMac I see the TC icon in the rt lower list of icons..am I supposed to see this icon when I open the Lumin app, and if so how is it supposed to be used when playing music..?..sorry to be so stupid...I can help you understand 'interstitial lung disease' if you're interested.
The settings I mentioned are on iPad system setting (for Tidal), not within Tidal app. If you are using Mac OS, the settings would be elsewhere and I don't know.
You need to find the speaker icon https://support.tidal.com/hc/article...ice_output.png in Tidal app and tap it. If you use Tidal Connect, you use Tidal app, don't use Lumin app.
It's not caused by the upgrade of Lumin firmware.
It's caused by Tidal switching over to OAuth login scheme, breaking the Lumin-Linn OpenHome Tidal interoperability as I mentioned last year:
Lumin app - Tidal OAuth login method - OpenHome
You can no longer use Linn app to login Tidal from Lumin hardware, or use Lumin app to login Tidal from Linn hardware.
Peter…thanks I have it….cool👍👍👍👍
Peter…everything is going through the Tidal app on my iPad. Music playing from LUMIN X1. So far…about 3 hours of listening,,,the Master tracks are superb. The ‘HiFi’ tracks are great too. Love the lyrics also.
Strange thing - on Tidal connect autoplay function doesn't work (on U1 Mini). After the last track on the list player finished his work.
Finally got Tidal connect to work. However, played about 8or 9 tracks from a playlist then it stopped. Not sure why as there were many more tracks in the playlist.
I've never tested it, but I think Tidal already has desktop apps for both Windows and Mac, and Tidal Connect should also work from desktops.
Lumin Android apk also works on Windows via MEmu emulator. This is now regularly tested and performance wise it's even better than on Android phones due to sheer desktop CPU and GPU horsepower.
Is there a plan for Tidal Connect to work with Lumin D2?
The platform limitation needs to be investigated.
