Why has Naim no Tidal connect for PC laptop like it has for Spotify?

Still don't understand why Naim doesn't have Tidal connect for PC windows laptop like it has for Spotify? I have no smartphone and i do not want any, but have a laptop. With Spotify connect i can use my laptop and ND5XS for Spotify but not for Tidal. It is a real shame because i want to try Tidal if it's any better or not?

Naim have never had an app that runs on a PC, and I'm pretty sure they never will. When you stream Tidal to a Naim streamer, the signal isn't routed through the control app device, it goes straight over the network to your streamer. Realistically, you need an iPad or iPhone.

For sound quality, Tidal is a big improvement on Spotify.
