Tidal Hifi - Sound quality Upnp vs Airplay
#5
Tidal delivers 16/44 quality, so AirPlay or UPnP shouldn't change much. Bluetooth is 16/44 too. The only thing that can matter IMO regarding AirPlay is the quality of your wifi network, which will be used by phone to stream the files from Tidal then from the phone to the Phantom, vs. UPnP where the file is streamed by from Tidal directly to the Phantom.

UPnP is (supposedly) better if you have files higher than 16/44, but I'd recommend you to try an ABX test by yourself and see if you can distinguish the two sources… if you can't, stick with AirPlay and the official Tidal app which has a far better UI than any other UPnP app around!
