Hi, I use Tidal in iOS and want to stream it to my Sonos gear by using the “Tidal Connect” protocol.

I know I can stream Tidal to my Sonos Port by using Airplay or Sonos Connect. I know I can use the Sonos app to select Tidal as a music service. My question is about the streaming protocal “Tidal Connect” (https://tidal.com/connect), already added by many high-level streamign boxes.

“Tidal Connect” shows in Tidal app like this:

“Sonos Connect” shows un Tidal app like this:

Are there plans by Sonos to add support for “Tidal Connect” streaming protocol on their products? “Tidal Connect” opens the box to stream high quality audio, and all main competitors of Sonos have added it since long time.

Thanks,

Toni

Hi @ToniL,

I don’t use Tidal myself, so after discussing with a colleague we both had assumed Tidal Connect was similar to Spotify Connect, where it was a simple streaming feature as the steps on the Tidal Connect page on connecting a device are the same steps for Sonos devices.

However Sonos doesn’t manage the integrations of other music service features, this is something that Tidal themselves would have to. I’m sure many Tidal users would love this feature to be part of Sonos.

I’m not sure exactly how this would work but, seeing as we already support casting from the Tidal app to Sonos speakers, it should be possible to integrate Tidal Connect as you have described, though again this would be up to Tidal.

I’d recommend reaching out to Tidal and letting them know you’d like this feature to work with Sonos as well.
