I agree that the OP’s post is confusing. @Sean_Gresham, it seems like your problem has to do with trying to run the Tidal desktop app and Roon at the same time on the same machine. Is that correct?
Also, when you say “The wifi is literally 7 ft away,” it’s not entirely clear what that means and how that fits into the picture.
If you could elaborate on those issues and also detail your setup, as described here, that would help in defining your problem and, we hope, coming up with a solution.
