200 on its Way.

I see in your sig that you have an Aurender X100L. A good USB cable and you're all set. I use the Aurender app and stream Tidal from there as well. The sound is fantastic and the Aurender app is robust and stable.

How would you rate sound quality of music steamed from Tidal via Aurender vs music played back from its internal storage?

I haven't tried Tidal yet.   Soon.

I'm disappointed with Tidal streaming on Aurender!  Sound quality is by far inferior to the awesome sound quality I get from Aurender when playing locally stored tracks

Let me know about your experience

Which is why I don't use streaming. Since retiring (mostly), I find that I have so much music (probably much less than many here) that I haven't listened to in years; so I have been randomly "streaming" music through JRiver in the office and through Synology -> iPhone/iPad as I do other things.    It has been working well for me.

I hear about new releases through reading (it seems everyone wants to tell me about their latest and greatest finds) and usually the samples is enough for me to decide.

Well I went considerably of topic, my apologies.

I find the same. Quality is definitely not on par with the music on the Aurender. Essentially, I use Tidal for background music and that doesnt happen often. Serious listening is done with the files I have mostly on the internal HDD of the Aurender. When I bought it, i decided to rip all my cds on a NAS. I mostly use the internal HDs of the Aurender for my Hi Rez files ( I have lots of 24/96 and 192 ) and the music I listen regularly. Ripping all my cds made me discover enough hidden gems for listening for the rest of my life I guess. It has been a long task but also a very rewarding one.

Tidal is good to discover new music and I use it essentially with my iphone and Senns IE800 IEMs when I'm out of the house.
