Hello, I'm in search of a Zidoo player that is compatible with USB DAC and also supports Tidal Connect. Could anyone recommend a specific model number?
UHD3000 and UHD5000 both have an excellent DAC with USB input. I don't know about Tidal connect but they are listed as Roon ready and also UPnP AirPlay rendering.
I think, techdialetic meant a Zidoo player without DAC, which can be connected to a USB DAC. As far as I know, every Zidoo player is compatible with a USB DAC. I would recommend a Zidoo Z9X or a Zidoo Z9X Pro. I don't know about Tidal Connect, either, but the Zidoos are made for playing or streaming local media files. Tidal will probably work, but you will have to turn the TV on to use the tidal app. Or you use it via Roon, which still does not run on Z9X Pro.
Every Zidoo player has a built in Airplay and UPnP. Not sure if they have USB audio out. I think NVidia Shield maybe a better option for streaming and USB audio related items.
