Part 3. Conclusion
You are allowed to stream Tidal music on Devialet Phantom Speakers or other devices, be it the official way or the advanced way.

Apart from that, you need to download several extra applications such as BubbleUPnP, which is time-wasting.
Distinct from the former method, with the powerful converter, you can listen to all kinds of Tidal music at up to 32 bit/ 192000 Hz. Most importantly, besides Devialet, it also enables you to experience Tidal music on multiple devices and players whenever you want. It can be the best shot for you.
