Devialet, Roon and Tidal

[Womaz]

I would just like to thanks you all so far for the replies. I would be lost without this forum if I am honest.

So I am now pondering, this initially was a thread about possibilities of getting a stable Tidal stream.
It looks like Air is a non starter for me as the changes above are just over my non technical head i am afraid. I have used it before on this lap top, but unfortunately I had a shut down about 6 weeks ago and I had to repair my PC back to its original state. This removed everything and I had to reinstall all my programs I has obviously done something to the BIOS settings also, whatever they are.

So my gut feeling is now wait for Melco to get back to me.

I guess I am reluctant to make big changes as if it is a network problem I am going to have the same issues, whether Melco, Air or Roon.

Roon does interest me though, and I will get a free trial. So how easy is Roon to install ? I assume I will have to install it on my PC. If I do I guess it must have to make changes to the soundcard on here and will I not just have the same issue as the Air driver?

At this point I guess i may even consider a cheap £300 to £400 lap top dedicated to my music playback. I assume this would have enough spec to do what i want it to do.
