![]() ![]() When the setup process is completed, then click on Done.Wait for a few minutes until your HomePod is set up.Position the top of your HomePod in the middle of that circle until you can hear a tone. Now, you will see a circle on your device’s screen.Next, you must follow the on-screen instructions to set up your HomePod.Choose the room where you have set up your HomePod, then click on Continue.Now, click on Set Up when it appears on your device’s screen.Hold your unlocked iPhone or iPad near your HomePod.Firstly, plug your HomePod into an outlet.For example, here's bubbleguuum (BubbleUPnP's developer) thread announcing that the Qobuz music service had been just added to the officialy released BubbleUPnP Android app - notice that Tidal is already mentioned as available:īTW, the info in the video is quite old and the official released version has supported Chromecast for some time now, so need for any beta version.Firstly you will have to set up your HomePod. ![]() The 'normal' UPnP/DLNA renderers had that ability before the beta version of the BubbleUPnP Android app mentioned in the video, so long before the BubbleUPnP Android app could use the CCA. ![]() This allows you to use the CCA to stream from any of the sources (cloud ones like Tidal, Qobuz, Google Music, Amazon Drive, etc, as well as bog standard UPnP/DLNA media servers), just like the UPnP/DLNA renderers can with the app. In other words the BubbleUPnP app is making the CCA appear as if it is just another UPnP/DLNA renderer (like Moode Audio & JRMC in your setup), so that it can be used in exactly the same way as those renderers. If you look at what device the guy on the video is selecting in the BubbleUPnP Android app, you'll notice that the CCA has been selected from the list of available renderers on the network. That video is showing precisely what I mentioned in the second paragraph of my last post! The Google Cast application is just used to configure the Chromecast devices themselves (getting it to connect to you network in the first place - so that it's useable, audio settings, etc), so not really ovelooked but assumed that it has already been used. Incidentally, have you actually tried connecting the CCA's output (either analogue or digital optical) to the rest of your audio system, so therefore actually listened to the CCA's own streaming & playback of tracks from Tidal or music files from a UPnP/DLNA media server when using the CCA with the BubbleUPnP Android app? The BubbleUPnP Android app then allows the CCA to stream anything the UPnP/DLNA renderers can when using the same app, eg, tracks from Tidal or music files from a UPnP/DLNA media server on the network. The main difference is that the CCA is incompatible with UPnP/DLNA streaming, so requires specialised software like the BubbleUPnP Android app to translate or provide a bridge between the two systems. Think of the CCA as just another music file streamer like the Mood Audio and the JRMC being used as renderers. The BubbleUPnP Android app that you also mentioned using is the only thing in your setup (assuming I've figured it out correctly) that enables Mood Audio and JRMC to access & stream from Tidal and the CCA has nothing to do with that mechanism. I'm a bit confused as to how you are using the Chromecast Audio in your setup - "the CCA is being used as an access to Tidal", especially as it shouldn't have anything to do with streaming Tidal via the two UPnP/DLNA supporting renderers you mentioned (Moode Audio on the RPi and JRMC on the pc). But there is no hardwired connection to the CCA jut wifi and this network is very stable and quite good sounding and relatively inexpensive. Moode and JRMC are of course utilized as DLNA/UPnP servers. I connect via a pc occassionally to Tidal to make changes to My Music because the phone screen is tiny but the stream doesn't normally go there unless selected as a renderer. Playback is also set on the phone as a remote and determined by the renderers only as to resolution, choice of material, order,etc. The Android phone is used to direct that stream to either of the renderers. Tidal is streamed through the CCA and connects to the network through wifi only. There is a WD MYCLOUD NAS on the network and it can be utilized by both systems. I have two systems: one has a renderer of a RPi3 running Moode Audio to an iFi micro DSD configured to resample to 32bit/384 khz and the other renderer is a pc running JRMC V21 resampling to DSD 56mhz 1 bit through a Korg DAC. I have a cheap Android smart phone which has ChromeCast and Bubble UPnP loaded. The CCA is being used as an access to Tidal. I use the CCA sort of backwards to the way its being purposed here. I've posted on this site very little in the past but I'm curious and wanted to bring up some options. ![]()
