As @tuxbass said above, it's half baked and none of the elements involved (AK making DAPs or The Tidal app itself) are new.
I wouldn't speak for anyone else, but personally I download Tidal albums at home over Wifi on my Onkyo DP-X1 to listen to offline when I'm out during the day. You can't do that on an AK so all this "Tidal is coming to AK!!!!" is a teeny bit disingenuous.
There are obviously more important things in life, but this is a personal audio forum and if enough people "complain", then AK might hurry up and do the job properly. For what it's worth, I love AKs - I have an old AK120 in a Glove A1 - and I would like another, but I won't by waving my wallet near one until they sort Tidal out.
Thanks for chiming in @FidelityCastro and @cuiter23
My use case is the same as above, I want to download albums over WiFi at home to my AK320 and listen to them on my commute.
These DAPs are not cheap, they are sold as a TOTL in some cases. What's wrong with demanding a basic feature that already exists in some of the competition (like DP-X1, it's Pioneer sibling, Fiio X7 etc).
Edit: Cheaper competing DAPs I should emphasize
