Option #1 - Try the 2.X Windows version of AIR on your Windows Laptop. You would install RoonServer on the laptop as well. What version of Windows are you running? Ideally would connect the Windows Laptop via ethernet to your router or switch. You would connect the Devialet via ethernet to your router or switch as well. You would then use an appropriate Android device or IOS device supported by Roon to control playback. This would allow playback of the files on your Windows laptop plus Tidal.
If you don't have the capability to wire the Laptop and Devialet to ethernet via a router or switch, you can do a direct ethernet connection between the Windows Laptop and Devialet. You will need to enable WIFI on the laptop as well for Tidal playback.
Option #2 - If option #1 is not feasible or if you find you have issues with playback of the 2.x version of AIR for Windows, and assuming no v3 AIR is available for Windows then in the interim you would connect the Windows Laptop to the Devialet via USB, until v3 AIR is available.
You can still control playback for appropriate, supported Android or IOS device.
