Why will it work now?

If I’m not mistaken it states on the WiiM Pro product page using Tidal Connect is the preferred method…although the Pro does have a basic Tidal app.

Do you mean the WiiM Home app? The app covers the mini as well and has included Tidal well before the Pro came out

This is what I remember seeing when was researching the Pro. I never owned the mini.

The only difference I’ve found using Tidal natively from the Home app and Tidal connect, is the loss off MQA and a butt ton of functionality. What I haven’t tried is using the Home app to see if it now does the first unfold. The implication is that it does. The coax input on my Topping E50 is render only.

It does look as though playing from the Wiim App does not unfold the MQA
Tidal connect to Wiim Pro does unfold the MQA

Just noticed another oddity.
Casting from the Qobuz app to the Wiim Pro, gapless does not work correctly.
There is a pause between tracks.

Isn’t that because Chromecast itself doesn’t support gapless, if I’m remembering previous conversations on the matter?
Edit: see

That’s my recollection from the roadmaps for both the Mini and the Pro

I didn't realise the casting from Qobuz App was "Chromecast"?
But looking again it looks that way
Thankyou

Yeah, Qobuz doesn’t yet have its own Connect casting protocol so has to use Chromecast, or maybe even Airplay or Bluetooth?

Thanks! I wasn’t sure. I didn’t think it did but the new app version is not clear about what the MQA settings actually do. Before WiiM support confirmed the option to choose renderer only for the coax input of the E50 had been removed, I was leaning towards Mr. Ee’s option 2.

Lots of activity while I was sleeping!
Wiim confirmed, Feb 11, "The MQA is currently only supported for TIDAL Connect. The TIDAL in the WiiM Home App hasn't supported the MQA yet. We'll enable this support in WHA shortly."
@Brava210 - the latest wha app settings for mqa are a bit messed up, but it is possible to set up mqa with them, albeit unintuative.

There’s new wiim apps for iOS, they return renderer only, decoder and render only just like the one it has before.
I don’t have android check if there’s new wiim app update.What about android

Not yet, but they seldom release updates to both on the same day. Give it a few days or weeks.
