All you need with it is a control point e.g. a nice Apple iPad AIR or Pro. You'll install AIR on the Roon Server machine, it'll present itself as a soundcard/output speakers.
Unfortunately AIR isn't very stable for all users. WiFi worsens the issues. Plenty of topics on the forum discussing that and Devialet's lack of fitting action.
Thank you for the reply. Still not sure I'm getting this. Are you saying I run server and air both on the ipad and that's all I need to stream Tidal to the Devialet? My desktop is not needed? And if it's not needed, how would I access the flacs that are on its hard drive?
I saw that Air3 is available for mac and not Android or Win. Does mac = ipad too? If so, seems a good reason to pick up an ipad over other tablets?
No, that's not correct. AIR3.0b is only available for Mac. You can install Roon or RoonServer on your Mac and use Roon Remote on Android/iPad/iPhone to control Roon and make music selection including local music, Tidal and Internet Radio. Your music can be stored in your Mac or a networked drive such as NAS. Drive location has to be set in Roon.
