B&W Formation Duo

Description Of Issue
Formation Duo was recognized and working as a Zone until 2 days ago, then it disappeared and is no longer discoverable. Now the only way I see the Duos is “via Airplay”, which I understand is not hi-rez compatible. Am using Roon with Qobuz as my source. My Roon remotes also no longer recognize the Duos as a valid audio device. No explanation as to why the Duo Zone disappeared.
UPDATE:
After restarting the Formation Duos, they appeared as audio devices in Roon for about 5 seconds, then disappeared again. Strange.
UPDATE:
A second restart of the Duos and relinking them to the B&W app brought everything back online in a Roon Ready zone. Again, not sure why the original problem occurred but I’m happy everything is back and working now. Will add to this post if problem recurs.
