I am just planning to use the Fire Stick for Amazon prime streaming (instead of the PS3). Apple TV for everything else. Is the Fire stick all that bad?

 

Oh no no no, its not bad. In fact the main reason I bought it was to get access to Prime original programming, but I haven't watched any of those shows yet.

 

I just like the Apple TV much better for typical stuff: hulu, Netflix, renting movies, hbo go, etc. I'm probably just so used to the Apple TV layout, its been my primary way to consume video content for years.

 

Now if a device comes along, which I'm sure it will, that supports Tidal, I can see myself going over to that.

Really?  I mean, unless its DAC is competitive with what I've got coming out of my computer, I just don't see it.

 

I'm thinking of an HDMI type device that would pass the digital signal along to the receiver, so yeah I'd be relying on the receivers DAC, but I think my Denon receiver sounds pretty good, especially when you throw audyssey into the picture.

I have android, so I'd really like to be able to stream tidal to the chromecast. That would be ideal. This is what I currently do with Google Play Music.

 

I haven't seen the little cast icon in the android tidal app yet.

Pixel > Tidal Web App > Cast Tab in Chrome > Chromecast

 

Works like a charm. I have no way of knowing if its futzing with the sample rate other than my ears, but at first listen it sounds great. Good snap and crack, good depth to the sound, no compression muddiness. Success!
