Hi Audiophile 👋

Tidal Connect Volumio 2.8x (Debian Jessie) setup instructions

Step by Step (10 Steps - Instructables)

This post will tell you how to install Tidal Connect on a Volumio for the Tidal App/Software Streaming HIFI/MQA.

Firstly download the Volumio image and extract it, then flash it to an SDCARD, you can get it here: https://volumio.org/get-started. Now insert that card into your Pi and wait something like 5 minutes. Need setting your device DAC in Volumio. Next, enable ssh so that you can setup Tidal Connect. To enable ssh, go http://volumio.local/DEV/ in your browser and click "ENABLE" under SSH. It doesn't report anything but you have just enabled the SSHd daemon. You can now login to your Volumio device with Putty.
