HP Desktop running Windows 10 and the last update for Roon.

Network Details (Including networking gear model/manufacturer and if on WiFi/Ethernet)
Ethernet cable from router to server/streamer.

Audio Devices (Specify what device you’re using and its connection type - USB/HDMI/etc.)
I am using an Antipodes DS server/streamer with all my CDs ripped into it. Also stream Tidal. All accessed via iPad

Description Of Issue
When I have had to reload the Roon Remote onto the iPad, there is a download option for Roon Essentials.

Should I just continue to use Remote or is there a benefit or a problem to be had by using the Essentials instead?

You should use Roon Remote in conjunction with a Roon Core, which is what’s running on the Antipodes.

Roon Essentials is a stripped down version of Roon that’s AFAIK only being used by Elac at the moment.

Roon Essentials is not implemented in Antipodes servers,

Thanks for the reply Tony.
Seeing it appear as an option when I install the Remote app on my iPad just had me wondering as to what the Essentials purpose and capabilities were.
Sometimes the iPad refuses to connect to the server and I have found that deleting and reinstalling the app usually fixes the issue.
