I want to look more into this because one player for Tidal/Spotify and my own library sounds very interesting.
Is there a way I can set this up right now when all I have is a Yamaha Receiver and an older Pi (and an older intel nuc), It's not immediately clear if I need an extra DAC or I can use the one builtin to the receiver.
The Yamaha MusicCast app also has Spotify+Tidal+MyMusic but the experience is horrible. So I usually just use Spotify Connect in the Spotify app to play on the receiver because the app experience is best there but music quality is less than Tidal. Tidal has better music quality but the Tidal app does not allow me to connect to the receiver.
- dsr_ 5y agoEither the Pi or the NUC should transfer digital audio via HDMI; that uses the DAC in your receiver.
- vbsteven 5y agoThanks, it's a wifi-enabled network receiver that does not have HDMI, only SPDIF. So I guess without buying an additional hardware adapter I could get there by connecting the NUC via HDMI to my TV which is already connected to the receiver via SPDIF. The only downside there is that I need to have the TV turned on while playing music.
