Question to Tidal users: So far there are only 2 ways to stream am I right to say :

1. Kef app (highest quality is Tidal Hifi) through wifi

2. Tidal desktop app (highest quality MQA) through physical usb connection.

Planning to hop over from spotify to tidal when I get these speakers..

Yes. These would be the 2 default choices. Wireless option works best for me (option 1) though the Tidal interface in the KEF app is not very good as I don't want to have cables running from my PC/laptop to the speakers

Edit: also note that playlists are not as good on Tidal vs Spotify and if you listen to a lot of Chinese music, then you will find the selection on Tidal to be quite limited. I would recommend going for the free trial and to test it with the genre of music you usually listen to before you make the switch

Tidal on WIFI starts and stops

Tidal on WIFI starts and stops.
Anyone can help to resolve this. Am on Singtel ONR with Mesh. I read someone it has to do with some DNS settings this is kinda too chim for me to dabble with....
Update: just wired the speakers to modem and problem solved. Guess wifi to modem and speaker relied too much on wifi and didn't work well.
