[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] soundcheck toolbox 3.0 not compatible with TIDAL

[Howard Turkster]

Is there anyone here who is willing to actually discuss the toolbox? I
know it's disfavored around here.

Anyway, I intially used Ickstream to run Tidal, but it beccame
increaingly wonky for me. Then I discovered that Squeezebox added Tidal
as a direct app. For some reason, though, it doesn't work when I have
TT 3.0 installed. I'd say 4/5 of the tracks produce an error code that
says 'cannot play file type'. When I restore the touch to factory
settings, the problems go away and Tidal runs fine. I tried disabling
the functions I could to see what in particular was causing it, but it
must be one of the mods that cannot be disabled manually that is causing
the problem.

Any advise on how to resolve? Also, does anyone have a copy of Toolbox
2.0 floating around? I remember all the mods in that package being
optional and therefore it would be easier to determine which specific
function was causing the problem.

TT is fine per say, but my eyes glazed over when this site was flooded
with OS tweaks, process priorities etc. :roll eyes:

I never liked 3 and never used it, thought it messed up the sound... I
always stuck with 2.0, and have a nice zip & text instructions to
reinstall it. Also noticed it can co-exist with EDO.

If soundcheck gives permission I'll post it.

I'd be curious if you even hear a diff, I always stacked it with linear
power, other hw tweaks etc. -- but do all that I got it to lock in and
actually sound better (this is all the spdiff out)

as for tidal, don't know

It would be great if you could send me a copy of the 2.0. That way at
least I can disable whatever is conflicting with Tidal.

Check your PMs.
