Hi Audiophile 👋

Tidal Connect RopieeeXL setup instructions

Install Tidal Connect required software

Download Tidal:

wget https://github.com/dutu/Tidal-Connect-RopieeeXL/raw/main/opttidal.tar.gz
wget https://github.com/dutu/Tidal-Connect-RopieeeXL/raw/main/tidalservice.tar.gz

Download Aarch64 package dependencies:

wget https://github.com/dutu/Tidal-Connect-RopieeeXL/raw/main/tidallibs.tgz

Extract Tidal Connect:

tar -xf /root/opttidal.tar.gz --overwrite -C /
tar -xf /root/tidalservice.tar.gz --overwrite -C /

Extract Aarch64 package dependencies:

tar -xf /root/tidallibs.tgz -C /usr/lib/

Install new certificate

Download the new certificate

cd /tmp
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dutu/Tidal-Connect-RopieeeXL/main/IfiAudio_ZenStream.dat
ls -lsa /opt/tidal/id_certificate/
cp IfiAudio_ZenStream.dat /opt/tidal/id_certificate/

Configure Tidal Connect service

Check device:

/opt/tidal/pa_devs/bin/ifi-pa-devs-get

You get an output like this, from which you have to read the "name" of the DAC device you wish to use. While you are doing this the connected DAC must be plugged in, switched on and configured in RoPieee interface (Audio HAT field):
