Tidal Desktop app with Chromecast Audio - not casting

I have a Chomecast audio connected to a Cambridge CXA80 integrated via toslink/mini and it sounds fantastic, streaming Tidal from iPad, Galaxy S7, iMac (OS Sierra) and my work laptop (windows 7).

However, when I use the Tidal Desktop app on the iMac and Dell Laptop, I can not "cast" any audio. The Tidal web browser on each computer has the casting option and finds the Chromecast instantly, but you don’t have access to the new "Masters" section on the web browser, you have to install the desktop app.

I have gone through Google’s Chromecast audio setup, FAQ, Forums with out any luck. I’ve also gone through all of each computer’s setup/preferences. Neither computer can find the Chromecast audio.

The chromecast is running on my home network, as are both computers.

The end goal is to stream Tidal Masters via the desktop app to the Chromecast Audio. If I can get both computer to stream, great! But I’d settle for just one..

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Heres is my work around.

You have to stream in Google Chrome. I have not found a way to stream via the app on my Macbook. 

Once you have Tidal open in Chrome then you can stream.

I too use the Chromecast audio.

I use the iPad app as well and that stream fine.
