is really set up for Tidal. Also don’t know how airplay affects the sq but a direct usb streaming Tidal should sound cd quality. My N100H keeps up with Sacd played from my Mct450. It sounds like a connection issue.

Yes, I forgot to mention. The Aurender is connected to my Tidal Hi-Fi account and the sound quality is much better than Spotify. This is to be expected of course if not just for the fact that Spotify compresses the files. The MB50 sounded much better when playing Spotify though which I just don't get. Same network but different cables, the MB50 was connected using Toslink and not USB.
