Streaming question from a novice

I am new to streaming and not a wiz at computing.  I would like to add Bluesound to my hifi, and I know I would need to connect it to my internet network but I don't know what capacity ( bit rate? ) I need in order to stream higher res files from Tidal.  Any help would be appreciated.  I don't want to purchase the item and then find out that I can't send it the data it needs.

  Hello Gregory, 

  Regarding the bandwidth, Tidal's official specification on their website is as follows:
  
  5.0 Megabits per second - 1 FLAC stream
  7.5 Megabits per second - 2 FLAC streams
  10 Megabits per second - 3 or more FLAC streams

  Additionally, ideally speaking, for streaming 192/24 MQA content from Tidal you would need a strong signal strength for your wireless players or a wired connection (which is the recommended connection type for its reliability).

  Regards,
  Sam R.
