Description Of Issue
Every time I try to add a new end point for LS50W in the Roon app (ipad Pro and iphone 10 Max)
the app crashes.
Specifically, the app recognizes LS50W as an endpoint. When I click on
-Settings> Audio > Enable LS50W…it crashes and exits the app
It seems that KEF Streaming app is the weak link. Per KEF support engineers, this app is not good and they are advising working around the app. I used a USB type B cable to connect from Roon’s USB port to Kef’s USB input and it recognizes this as ASLA end point and it works flawlessly.
I had to move the Roon Nucleus Closer to the KEF LS50W to get this working. The app still remains buggy.
Can you please reproduce this behavior on your iPad/iPhone and let me know the exact local time + date the crash occurs and which device you were using? After getting this info I can enable diagnostics mode for your account.
