Ill-conceived?
When I first subscribed to Tidal and used it with Roon, I was having all kinds of problems with Roon loading Tidal tracks and skipping to the next track. It happened so much that I was ready to cancel Tidal as it was basically useless. I was none to happy with Roon at the time as well.
Someone suggested setting my primary DNS to 8.8.8.8 and my secondary DNS to 1.1.1.1. I made my living as a computer network specialist setting routers and switches and data farms. Frankly, I thought this suggestion was stupid. After all, I had zero DNS issues with all of my other systems and applications.
I was at wits end and figured I would try the new DNS servers just to prove the suggestion stupid. To my massive surprise, Tidal and Roon worked together perfectly once the change was made. To this day I do not know why, but the problem has never returned. It has worked for numerous other people as well. See here:
I know your situation is not the same one, but don’t discount the idea until you have tried it…
