Hello!

I’ve been trying desperately to help my dad set up his stereo system to stream music videos from tidal to our TV while retaining the HiFi sound to the stereo. I’m hoping someone here might be able to help. Our setup is as follows:

Macbook w/ TIDAL app bluetooth > Bluesound NODE i2> Chord Qutest DAC > Stereo

We have attempted to mirror the Macbook screen to our Samsung S90C TV, Chomecast, and Apple TV. But, none have allowed us to mirror to the TV while also bluetoothing to the Node. Additionally, we can’t even seem to cast to the TV from the TIDAL app because the screen blacks out when we start the video, oddly. Possibly a resolution issue.

I feel like we’ve tried everything. Considering potentially downloading the Samsung Tidal app on the TV and connecting the TV to the NODE via bluetooth, but then I don’t believe the Samsung app has video or retains master quality audio.

My dad spent a lot of money on this Node and DAC because he’s a true audiophile. But, we love to watch music videos while playing billiards. I’d love to be able to help him get this working, but I’m reaching the extent of my knowledge. The folks at the audio store and TIDAL keep sending my father on wild goose chases and have been giving him bad information from the start.

Does anyone else have a similar setup and also running video while retaining audio quality?

    Have you tried using cables like HDMI or other connections?, perhaps with a cable you could then bluetooth to the device.

      Possibly, but the room layout makes it a bit tricky without running a super long cable around it. I’m leaving that option until we tease out the potential to mirror the video. It’s a good suggestion though. Thank you!

          Super helpful link. I think that may be a possible solution. I’ll play around with it tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

          Thank you, again!

            Glad I could help. If no luck, search for your specific device and the technologies involved for similar results, as in ‘Macbook (Air Pro 2020) bluetooth while mirroring/airplay’,

            ​

            Have a good one!
