Welcome to the Roon community, @hugh_loney.

For Roon to work, you need to run Roon Server on another device, e.g., PC (Linux or Windows), a Mac or Nucleus. Please see this guide.

Hey @hugh_loney, welcome to the community, and thanks for reaching out.

From what you described, it sounds like you may be trying to use the iPad as the only Roon device. Roon needs a separate Roon Server running on another machine or appliance, and the iPad is used as a Remote, not as the server itself. The setup overview here explains that flow clearly: How Roon works.

If you want to play the music stored on the Luxman streamer through Roon, there still needs to be a Roon Server somewhere on your network, such as a Mac, Windows PC, Nucleus, or ROCK.

If you have any questions, let us know and we will help you sort out the right setup.

Hey @hugh_loney,

Wanted to follow up on this. Were you able to get a Roon Server running on another machine or appliance, since the iPad itself is just acting as a Roon Remote in that setup? If you are using a Luxman streamer, we should be able to sort out the next step once the Server side is in place. Please reply with any updates or questions, and we can take it from there.
