Just enough to be an irritation, without being a serious problem. I don't get anything like this with Qobuz. (This is on a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.)
To answer my own question: it seems like I'm not alone according, to this thread on Computer Audiophile.
Strangely I can stream some albums but not others from my old iMac (10.6.8 - TIDAL say it shouldn't work at all) so I've mainly been using the iOS app which is really very good (much slicker than the Qobuz app). I've had one or two minor drop-outs but nothing serious. The extended gaps between tracks are really annoying.
I've tried iPod AirPlay > Apple TV > optical cable > Devialet and also to my Naim NDX which were both ok. I got better sound from using a USB connection between the iPod and my NDX but don't really want a cable across my study. I haven't tried iPod USB to the Devialet but presume that will sound even better? [EDIT: This doesn't work - you can't play music direct from an iDevice into a Devialet USB port]
