In DARco 's article in February 2015, I can read about the AK500n : "There’s no access to the Google Play Store (as per the Sony ZX-1/2) but a Tidal lossless streaming app is apparently “in the works”.

This was 16 months ago...

Darko is a reviewer and doesn't work for AK. And he said "apparently". There is no "promise" from AK.
 
Please bear in mind every time you write "AK promised XX months/years ago", a lot of readers would accept your statement as fact, of which it's not. You're misleading the audience here.

You are right about Darko not working for A&K and them never making a promise, but to be fair, A&K confirmed working on an integration of TIDAL into their software and told us to look out for an announcement regarding Tidal about six months ago...

And that's fine as that is much more accurate.

Count me in. This is what I need to buy an A&K player.
 
Sometimes these company policies are difficult to understand. Why is Deezer Elite only available with Sonos? 

 

[Vigrith]

Subbed for future updates. Definitely willing to buy an A&K player if they find a way to let me play Tidal through it, only thing that's held me back thus far.

Subbed! Great alternative for us Tidal users. Not many possibilities today except smartphones, working properly that is

I wouldn't expect it any time soon though, not even this year...

 

[tretneo]

Subbed. Just ordered an ak300, really hoping to see this Tidal app in the near future.

 

[linxroxas]

Subbed. Once the app comes out so does my wallet.

This time frame for tidal and the constant so called excuses for the release doesn't make sense to me. As far as I know AK runs on android. Tidal already has a app for that iOS. Unless AKs android interface is really outdated which makes this more disappointing considering the incredible amount of money for these devices, especially considering much much cheaper devices integrate Spotify, Pandora as well as tidal already . I really think AK is leading consumers on...bottom line! And they really have no intention at the moment to "load" Tidal onto their players with the android tool kit. But what they do like to do on a pretty consistent basis is create new daps! And as long as less discerning non value conscience customers continue to buy overly priced upload only music players. They will continue with their current formula pure and simple.

not yet, but with the upcoming firmware I guess

 

[Vigrith]

Oh wow, FINALLY. I'm glad they got with the times after all, was starting to lose hope.

My Christmas wishes : A successor to the AK500n or to the AK380 and may be also MQA for Tidal streaming )
