Do you have Tidal on your receiver? If so, you should be able to control the Tidal app on your receiver with the Tidal client on your phone.

I'm using Tidal and Qobuz, gave up on Spotify a long time ago. My streamer uses the MControl app on a tablet. Pretty good, a little fiddly. Sound quality is excellent for digital.
Enjoy the Music. Trust your ears. Laugh at Folks Who Claim to Know it All.

Just read that Spotify will be eventually going to a higher quality output. It will be an add on to a premium membership to have recordings at CD quality.
I’m still using Tidal as an experiment. It’s good in terms of sound quality , I can certainly hear the difference on certain tracks. But not all. But I dont like the user interface. Spotify is really user centric and the playlists are great.
The Tidal downloaded files play flawlessly all the time.
The Spotify downloaded files crap out on me all the time. It pisses me off. I travel a ton for work now ( I know backwards to the remote working craze these days ) and I get livid when Spotify won’t play on the plane on my headphones. Tidal always works and I remain calm.
I just realized too we have Prime on our Apple TV. So in theory I should get Amazon HD Music too I think?

Ah. Close but no dice. I’m gonna keep playing with tidal for awhile longer. If Spotify does go to CD quality I’d probably just keep that. And then purchase any must haves at the highest quality in physical or downloaded files. We ll see. CD quality is pretty good overall.

Still playing around with it. Watched the pod racing scene in SW-Phantom Menace, love the smoothness of the engine sounds as they pan across the screen and when that Tuscan Raider fires that shot and it echoes through the canyon, no regrets.
Does anyone else notice or know why when the receiver is put into Direct mode the bass is punchy and irritating but in Dolby Digital + or THX cinema or Neural the bass is smooth? just wondering if I'm missing something.

In direct, your receiver may be by-passing EQ.
