Hello Medon, I am totally confused? What is the HDMI cable you are recommending? Regards Jeff

Understood. I guess I should hold off on the update. I use a Mac iPad but not chansing it. Thx for the heads up. I cant figure out how to get Tidal connect to play the next track on an album. Just stops when ending the 1st track? Seems like this problem just started after the last update...

Hell Hello, it does not mess with Tidal. Tidal connect works just fine. I was only commenting on the fact that Tidal changed their names for highest resolution to Max from master. Now they added a Tidal connect button in the streaming menu. This opens the Tidal App. Regards Jeff
