Yeah I've used it with Tidal. Experience was kind of poor. There were a few things that I only found on Apple that I wanted to try out. Oh well.
The AppleTV 4K is $120 at Best Buy right now, so for the price of one overpriced box set with a a surround Blu-ray you can scratch that itch. With extended holiday return periods it would be easy to sign up for a free trial then return the thing and cancel if you weren't satisfied.
