Jdsmoke is right. Once set up, the MB50 will recognize Spotify and Tidal when those apps are opened. I always utilize the Spotify and Tidal user interfaces while using them, NOT Play-Fi. I believe some of the user complaints about the MB50 are due to people not fully understanding its capabilities or how it operates. I prefer its internal Cirrus Logic DAC over the DAC in my C47. It's more analog sounding and less fatiguing than any other streamer I've tried, and I've tried quite a few.
