I could probably plug it in to my network to alleviate network issues. It just isn't clear to me if it supports the high def tidal. There are way too many specs/standards.

I am only subscribed to the basic Tidal. According to the specs it should do higher than the basic quality but not MQA or DSD which I think Tidal can provide although I'm not sure of that. If you are going down the network cable route there would probably be a raspberry pi solution then go to a usb dac that handles mqa/dsd. That would be my preferred route for that quality but the dac could end up being a lot of money.

It does support high resolution bit rates but not DSD. Alac is only 96/24, wav, Flac & Aiff 192/24.
People often run into problems with their wifi once you get up to 96/24. If you have a decent router it should be able to handle multiple streams otherwise as soon as you have phones and stuff around they can cause dropouts.
