If the bluOS operating system is so comprehensive - why can’t your developers download the SDK and program in python or swift ? The elephant in the room is really - how does your competitor Sonos do it . ? Also the use of tidal even if you want master quality is declining and is the preferences for MQA to be anything meaningful . I have been a member for many years - and the MQA format is disappearing and discontinued . It’s the only reason most audiophiles use your equipment . So please be forthcoming with the truth and consistent in the chat rooms about the real facts . I have spent so much money on NAD equipment thinking it was high end …….. truth is you are better of with Sonos - Apple Music Spotify . Or put Sonos amps in and a connect in front of all your stack of wasted DSP 150s and C580 streamers for each zone . You can get it this way. This solution results in the end of you guys - which is not really what anybody wants - but you give them no option . You don’t supply any Apple functionality at all - and you should not say so in your advertising . Please explain why the red hot audiophile operating system does not integrate with the market leading music product . And tell your community of purchasers who feel ripped off - the truth please . It has been going on for years and is very frustrating to read peoples stories . If you could please supply me with the bluOS SDK - I have developers and system architects that could probably do this in a snap . Trying to help really - hoping the investment has not been a whole waste of time .

  I am just another users but unfortunately until Apple decide to allow Lenbrook direct access to Apple Music then it’s not going to happen, Lenbrook would throw all their resources into integrating Apple Music if the opportunity came along as BluOS is available on many manufacturers hardware platforms, it may happen in the future but no point waiting. Sonos were lucky and integrated with Apple Music years ago, since then Apple integrated in some very obscure system (for boats from memory) and only allow Airplay elsewhere. There is another streamer that has AM but that just an Android box with Apps running on it.

  The good news about MQA is that HDTracks will be starting a streaming service at some point next year and that will have both FLAC and MQA available.

  There is an API but no public SDK available.
