totaldac D1 server

[GuillaumeB]

Hi

I'm a new member of the forum.

I'm greatly interested in the iPeng/ICKstream/Tidal discussion going on here

I'm not a Devialet owner but I'm a Totaldac d1 server-d1 dual dac owner

I'm desperately trying to stream Tidal music: many hour trying....no result

I activated a Tidal free trial
I purchased iPeng and installed it on my iPad
IPeng recognized my Totaldac server (with the proper disk image provided by Mr. Brient)
Then the nightmare started....

Impossible to see the Tidal icon. So I read hundreds of web pages to understand that I need this ICKstream in order to have Tidal streaming music. I found ICKstream icon under MyApp in iPeng but when I selected it a message popped up saying that I have to sign up in ICKstream plug in LMS web interface (?!)

After hundreds of pages of reading more, I was able to enter Logitech Media Server (ahhhhh) web interface on my MacBook Pro after installing LMS software (impossible on iPad)
After two hours I was able to install the plug in for ICKstream in LMS (what the hell...looks like a treasure hunt!!) and logged in with Tidal credentials.
I hoped that now I was able to use ICKstream and Tidal services from iPeng....but nothing...the same message popped up....

I have the Totaldac d1 server connected to a dedicated Belkin router which I connected to the Internet with an Ethernet cable connected to my usual ADSL modem router....

I'm going crazy!

Hopefully experiences here on the forum will help me

Regards
Fabio

Hi Fabio, welcome to Devialet Chat!

I've asked Vincent for a step by step guide as I also found this terribly complicated! He has promised me something with screenshots.

Will post an update as soon as I know more.

all this is not very reasuring....since I also want to buy TotalDAC Server and I WANT ti be able to strealm Tidal.Qibuz with it !

If it is really too complicated for normal human being, I will but an Aurender or ARIES (mays be with a TotalDAC reclocker   )

That's an awful lot of boxes and power supplies though! Not to mention cables!  Still I bet it would sound good.

Anyway I've told Vincent we need a guide and he is working on it. I think one of the difficulties has been that he can't get Tidal in France...

Anyway there are other options... the TotalDac d1 server is also UPnP (with the relevant firmware) and that means we should be able to install BubbleUPNP server on the NAS (in my case a QNAP). This acts a proxy & will provide Openhome functionality meaning we can use a Linn Kazoo CP which has Tidal completely integrated! 


Thanks to Rufus for thinking of this! I might try it out this weekend!
