![]() JRiver is now set up!Ĩ) Click here to Download and install the latest Tidal desktop app for PC or Mac.ĩ) Open the Tidal Desktop App. I'm assuming that those who want to use ASIO can also use this method I'm describing.ĥ) Click the button just below the name of your DAC labeled "Device Settings"Ħ) Checkmark the box that says "Open device for exclusive access." Click OKħ) Click OK on the options menu. ![]() I use WASAPI because my DAC only supports that. You can download a free trial here if you are curious and want to see if you notice a difference.Ģ) Open JRiver, then navigate to Tools>Optionsģ) Select "Audio" on the left and you will see a carrot on the right where you click under the heading "Audio Device."Ĥ) Select your DAC and make sure either or is at the end of the name. Anyway, here is how you do it:ġ) Download and install JRiver Media Center. Feel free to report success/failure with another program. Please note that I use JRiver Media Center.I do not know if this method works for Foobar or any other audiophile-friendly media player. Thankfully, I did a search to see if it is possible to run Tidal via WASAPI (or ASIO) and.there is! I previously avoided this when listening to my personal FLAC collection by setting up JRiver to play in WASAPI dedicated mode. The ultimate cause of this issue was that Tidal through the Chrome browser is forced to run via Direct Audio-this means that even though I had great quality files streaming from Tidal, the audio was being run through windows mixer which ultimately caused two issues for me: 1) slightly smaller soundstage and 2) slightly less bass. I decided to give Tidal FLAC streaming a try for a month, and by the end, I found myself wanting to cancel the service because the overall sound quality using Tidal in Google Chrome was inferior to listening to the same FLAC rips when played on my PC through JRiver Media Center. ![]() Hello all! I decided to make this thread just in case someone out there finds themselves in the same position I was in a couple weeks ago. ONLY USE THE BELOW GUIDELINES IF YOU FOR SOME REASON REALLY NEED TO RUN TIDAL THROUGH JRIVER. SHOULD BASICALLY SOUND THE SAME AS JRIVER, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE VST PLUGIN SUPPORT IN TIDAL FYI. EDIT: UPDATE!!!! PLEASE NOTE THAT TIDAL NOW OFFERS WASAPI SUPPORT NATIVELY.
