Can iPhones control hi res streamed music?

Can i use my iPhone 8 with TidalHiFi to play Hi Res music through my phantoms?

Some people say you need a Samsung S8/S9 or other device, but are they just talking about playing their own music stored on the phone in Hi Def?

Yes. I do it all the time from my iphone

Do you have to use the Spark app to get the hi def? Or can you use the native Tidal app? Thanks

I suppose you could use bluetooth but that would defeat the object. I don’t think you can stream via the native Tidal app.

You can use AirPlay from the Tidal app

Not sure what the limitations of airplay are - but I bet you couldn’t tell the difference in a blind test between what it sends, and the full resolution 

Still - someone told me WiFi is better (it’s certainly more stable) so I tend to use the Tidal app for navigating music..... then I just search and play via WiFi in Spark
