Roon not compatible with Bowers & Wilkins Formation system?

Hello I’m using Roon to access my files on my local network and play them on my BW system.

I have a lot of DSF files and it looks like Roon is loading those files too slowly, so Roon is first jumping to the next file, then stop playing because of too much error.

This is happening the same when I choose audio files located on the hard drive of my computer, so this is not a question of USB or NAS connection.

Besides I noticed Roon is using around 50% of CPU of my Mini Mac M1 loaded with last Ventura.

Is there a solution or a software alternative to Roon to use my B&W Formation system?

Thank you very much
George
