Spark and Tidal issue?

[Lambert Simnel]

My conclusion is that Tidal have changed some security protocol on their end, and expect Devialet to do the same with Spark - which of course they won't as they've made it clear that they wont be updating the s/w any further. 

I guess DOS v2 upgrade, here I come.  Anyone got a view on the best option for streaming Tidal to DOS v2 Phantoms?

Not the cheapest option but probably the best is to use Roon. The Phantoms are Roon Ready devices and RAAT is a good and network friendly way for streaming content in the best resolution to a device that is Roon certified. And the Phantoms are. Alternatively, I would use a Raspberry Pi with an optical output add-on like the hifiberry Digi line. There are a number of free or low-cost applications that have implemented Tidal to be streamed.

Thanks - will have a look. An old work colleague rated Roon highly, so I had thought I might go that route if I was forced to go to DOS v2
