Outlaw Audio RR2160 MKII

Has anyone received the new updated Outlaw RR2160 MKII? I ordered mine just before Christmas and received it the next week. It is my first dabble into network type receivers and I did look into Bluesound and the Yamah R-N803. The RR2160 is supposed to have an App for iPhone or Android by the end of January. It should allow you to stream Qobuzz, Tidal, Spotify, etc. So far I have been playing the phono, CD player, USB inputs with thumbdrive files, and Net Radio using I believe Tune In.
So far so good. It sounds very good on my smaller two way speakers and powerfull enough with enough bass to drive my Von Schweikert VR-5's.
The reason I went for it was because all the features including streaming for $999. Most streamers don't have amplifiers but there are some like the Yamaha. It also has FM radio if you want that and you can separate the pre-amp from the amp to use the pre in another system, which the Yamaha does not have.
Anyone with experiences?

Yes, having the exact same issue.  I can get connected to TIDAL and see my playlists and albums. I press to play a track and it either stops or slides over to TUNE IN and plays a radio station.  A bit frustrating.   The APP for the receiver is clumsy and confusing and the Internet radio is, in a word, awful. You can only access a handful of stations and it is NOT Tune-in on the amp.  (I replaced a Yamaha and for all its flaws, the internet radio and the accompanying app worked flawlessly). ANy suggestions anyone for a workaround.?

(Meanwhile for CD & Phono its great!)
