Yeah I know of the AUR package, in fact I checked right before writing xD, that's the "user built stuff" I mentioned, since the AUR is the Arch User Repository after all.
About the Wiim, I'm reading about it for the first time but it seems like it's a LAN based audio device, right? I bet there's some Linux application that is able to connect to it and create a virtual output device you can pick for the tidal app, or any other audio.
Me from the future before posting the comment: Yeah no, I checked, there isn't. That's weird because Wiim does have an open API to send an audio stream into it so you should be able to create an audio stream from any app and then link them... Like, an app that creates a local audio streaming server, links any app output into that server and then sends it to Wiim via its public API. It should be doable and offer a lot more flexibility, but I guess there's not enough interest for someone to bother doing so. The one doing it should have a WIIM device to test too and the overlap between the people able to do this stuff and the people with a WIIM might not be that big give that's a device that does a lot of stuff for you in theory.

yeah shame
www.spotify.com/au/download/linux/
not first class support but close enough i can’t tell the difference
this is where mullvad and spotify are tops to me, no one comes close

uh, same. https://github.com/Mastermindzh/tidal-hifi
In fact spotify doesn't support arch at all, all there is is user built stuff too. You have a flatpak version of spotify but sod o you of tidal-hifi.
Sorry if I sound rude but your jerking of spotify when it offers the same capabilities of user made stuff rubs me the wrong way.

Tidal’s client doesn’t seem to support outputting to devices like Wiim in Linux. Spotify client does.
