Hi @hvanderwall,

I’ve merged you new topic into your existing one, so all the history is together.
Please don’t create new topics for the same issue.

Also when requesting help, whenever possible can you add context and be more specific.
Doing so, will greatly aid the help and support that can be given and ultimately reduce the time take to get to a resolution.

You can’t. Roon’s server software can only be installed on computers running either Windows, MacOS or Linux.

Roon’s app for smartphones and tablets only comes with the user interface/controlling part. You can change the settings from the server there (in the preferences). However, the server itself can only be installed on a normal computer.

Hi @hvanderwall,
As others have mentioned, a Roon Server cannot be created or hosted on an iPad. For a clearer understanding of how Roon works—including what devices can serve as a Core—please take a look at this article.
