Streaming FLAC files from Tidal using the Naim app

Streaming Audio

I own an NDX2.

When I open Tidal through the Naim app, the audio quality is displayed as only AAC 44.1kHz 96kb/s.
Is it possible to stream FLAC files from Tidal using the Naim app?

I’d love to listen to high-resolution tracks on Tidal, such as Norah Jones in 24-bit 192kHz FLAC. Is this possible through Tidal on the Naim app?
I know AirPlay 2 supports a maximum sample rate of 48kHz and a maximum bit depth of 24-bit, but I would prefer to stream via a wired connection rather than wirelessly to the NDX2.

I’d really appreciate your help.

Check the value of “quality” in the Naim app.

You asked the same question in another thread and got answers.

Are you sure you are playing from the Naim app directly to the streamer as I would expect it to say FLAC rather than AAC regardless of the playback resolution?

I solved the problem (with ChatGPT).
Log out Tidal and then Log in again. Now it works!

Thanks,
