Regarding Streaming on the Astra. I use Apple products. iPhone, iPad, MacBook. I am reading that streaming to the Devialet Astra through AirPlay 2 sends a compressed signal vs UPnP. However, I can't seem to figure out how to use UPnP as a controller on my iPhone. My Devialet will not connect to Chromecast (don't know if it would make a difference anyway). That seems to leave me with Roon, which only works if I have my MacBook near me to act as the "server" which is annoying. Or I have to spend $1k+ to buy a physical Roon Core.
Any ideas?
*Side note, i can't even stream Tidal directly to the Devialet through Airplay.. it skips the whole time, Qobuz works fine. Tidal only works seamlessly when I use Roon.
