Sonos doesn’t make preamps, and their amp is not interesting at the price.
But I already have their streamer.
Switch to TIDAL connect !

Yes you're right, sometimes we can forget that the other streamers in the portfolio still offer Airplay without a fuss. thanks for clarifying that.
My point is that there are lots of offended members blaming WiiM for the lack of Airplay support on the Ultra, without stoping to think that its an Apple thing, not a WiiM thing.
Thanks for the tip, appreciate it. I'm going to check out TIDAL connect as Amazon Music seems to have challenges, although the latest SW update did make it far better, so hats off to WiiM for recognizing the issue and working on it. Any way to export a playlist from Apple music and import it into TIDAL? Probably dreaming haha
I need to check out Qobuz too, and almost freeI also picked Qobuz for content and the fact it’s atmos free
Figured out you can do it straight from the Tidal app, guess RTFM applies

. Does this allow me to say to my Echo "Alexa play _____" and I'll hear it through my Ultra instead of the Echo? Because that's what I need.
Yes, you can.Tell me more
Please create a group of rooms in the Alexa app and set the speaker for music to Ultra.

Assuming one listens to old records recorded in 16 bit/44.1kHz, how can Hires help improve the sound? Putting the original music in a Hi-res container doesnt make it better. This whole Apple format is lossy talk and thus sounds terrible compared to Hires streaming platforms seems to me completelly exagerated. I would love to see someone do an actual blind test ABing Lossy vs Lossless
Its not a day and night difference but in long therm listening to music you can hear that TIDAL connect or Quobus is better , the listening fatigue is lower.
Also , TIDAL connect is much more convenient compared to using AirPlay and Apple music because your iPhone/ iPad dont loose any battery while playing.
I also think that one should not support companies that are not hifi enthusiasts - read: Apple music and spotify. But this is only my opinion.
Further, nowadays the price differences between different streaming sources are very small.
