I’ve been using Roon on my Formation Duo system and it’s great, apart from needing to run the Roon Core software on my iMac.
I considered buying a Nucleus or a NUC PC, but couldn’t justify the cost, especially with new developments like Tidal Connect and the prospect of the Formation products getting improved connectivity and functionality.
I just downloaded the new B&W Music app and I can now run Tidal direct to the speakers, without Roon or a separate streamer link.
So far, the music quality via Music is excellent and it’s very stable, but the new app will need a lot more development, which B&W say is in the pipeline.
B&W are getting behind their Formation range now.
