Spotify does not make plug in or connection with Roon, you can try Airplay with Spotify. Roon has built in support for Tidal and Qobuz.

I wonder how soon they will fix the dsd (*.dsf files) playback. It is pretty much unusable as it is now.
Matrix Element X (firmware B81801, MA Remote 2.2.6, Android 9.0), files on the memory card. Plays a track and stops, that is, does not play all tracks on the album. This problem will soon be a year old. Before the B51501 firmware everything was great!

Lack of responsiveness newly defined. Waiting for a solution ever since I have purchased the Element X in May 2020.
Streaming Tidal over wifi seems to be much more stable since the firmware and MA remote app update. No glitch or interruption during 90 minutes. Never have experienced that before.
Which version MA app you are using? For iOS or Android?
It may need more details to analyze the issue you meet. Contact [email protected] please.

Mine loosing connection whenever I am 'ready' to use it, and so the upgrade was pretty useless. Casting via dlna is better, in fact the only way it can be used as it is now.

Just got the latest firmware and app update, also find them to work much smoother than previous versions. Quite happy so far.
Anybody experience after upgrading the new firmware, it only play the 1st song in a tidal playlist and skip all the rest?
Also the bug whenever play a tidal playlist it play the order sorted by the name of the song, super annoying!

I don't know since I'm only using it as a Roon endpoint or via digital inputs. Please reach out to Matrix Audio support. I would be extremely surprised if this is a problem for everyone.
The problem with the play function when streaming Tidal content using the MA Remote app has been reported repeatedly since (at least) spring 2020 by different users in this and the other Matrix Audio thread. When choosing any title in an album or a playlist directly, the MA remote plays that title and then just stops. Switching to the next title (in the album or the playlist) by pressing the forward button doesn't work either.
The only way to have that fundamental functionality is to start with choosing play all, which will make the MA Remote app start with the first title, and then to select the title you actually wanted to start with. This seemed to work for me when I tried it the last time. Due to this being awkward, I preferred using the Tidal app on a tablet or smartphone connected to the MA Element X by usb or wirelessly to a chromecast audio attached to the X's optical in.
I can’t seem to make it play any playlist in tidal. It stops after playing first song, and if I press play again it randomly skip multiple songs. Same problem with album. Funny enough, when playing an album with 14 songs, it adds 16 songs.
Wow. Didn't experience that problem with the last update. At least not under Android. Are you using the Android or iOS version of MA remote?
