Roon on a QNAP (with an i3 or better processor) is fine ... check out the Roon Knowledge Base - QNAP page. IMPORTANT: as per RKB note it should have at least one SSD connected to store the Roon Database. Though unlike the RKB, imho 4GB RAM is the minimum and if purchasing a new device I would recommend specifying 8 GB ... Regards, Carl

Thank you all for the responses.
As it happens, I have my Roon core on an 8th gen NUC with i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD.
Unlike so much of Roon (that is a purely personal observation) I found putting Roon's OS on it to make a ROCK was extremely straightforward by just following the very clear online Roon instructions.
My point about Roon on a QNAP is that while it might be a bit slow if you have the sort of enormous collections that some people evidently do have, you do have a choice if Sooloos is extinguished.

I just wanted to thank some of the members (especially ncpl) for their kind replies.
I’ll do some research on Roon and may see what I can set up quickly with what I have. Enjoying rediscovering my library now however despite the loss of all the available music on tidal. From what little I have researched already a pc and an extra subscription is all that is required although I lose a zone.
So in summary:
- Pay more (monthly potentially with some hardware as required/wished for)
- Get less (minus one zone)
- But retain iOS control of tidal with all the digital goodness through my 818 in my upstairs (attic) main system
- Or I have to go back to analogue wired tidal into either system (my MC200 currently sends digital out to a benchmark pre/DAC downstairs to allow tv etc to be accommodated before a smaller set of active ATC’s). I do have an audioquest dragonfly red however which does MQA.
Still holding out for a fix however although I imagine tidal would not notice much of a drop in subscriptions if everyone with Sooloos stops their subscriptions and Meridian would have to fix it out of the kindness of their hearts (although potentially retain some customers longer term - e.g. upgrading my existing 818 and/or adding a second).
Fingers crossed here...
MC200, 818v1 both using Tidal & Sooloos into active ATC’s. The MC200 digital via a Benchmark DAC/pre.

An official statement from Meridian would be great, so everyone can decide what to do. This situation is 🤮 xxx

As you can imagine with UK on lockdown the factory is on reduced staff.
I am in constant contact with the team at Meridian and as soon as we have an official release we will post it.

Official statement received by e-mail today: While investigating the issue you and other Sooloos users are experiencing with accessing Tidal on your systems, we have been made aware that Tidal are planning to decommission the current login process used by Sooloos and replace it with a new method which is incompatible with the Sooloos platform. This will affect all Sooloos systems, not just those experiencing problems at present. In light of the development freeze of Sooloos, which we announced in March 2019, this means Tidal integration will no longer be supported for Sooloos users. Our recommendation for customers who wish to continue using Tidal is that they should migrate to the Roon streaming service. All Sooloos endpoints are compatible with Roon and the positive feedback we receive from customers who have already made such a move indicates that Roon is a natural successor to Sooloos. Your Meridian dealer is aware of the situation, so please contact them to discuss the options for your particular requirements. Regards, Customer Support Team Meridian Audio Ltd www.meridian-audio.comWill this mean I can use 861v8 as endpoint with Roon?

If you have an ID41 card in your 861v8, then yes. It's always been compatible with Roon.
Cheers

Will this mean I can use 861v8 as endpoint with Roon? Via an ID41 card yes, it's fine I run my 861 this way. Roon supports the Sooloos network protocol, thus it can stream to any of the existing Sooloos endpoint such as the ID40, ID41, MS200, MS600, etc. Though as this is still the Sooloos protocol and is restricted to 96KHz, unlike the Roon network protocol (RAAT) which supports higher rates and also native DSD.

If the above post is correct I would like to request the Moderators to change the title of this stream to "Problem with Meridian?".

Hi,
The above is true. they have already announced that further development of Sooloos was ceasing several years ago.
It is amazing that Sooloos and Tidal had kept working so long. However, the issues lie with the new password process of Tidal this is to meet better standards.
The recommendation is to migrate over to Roon, Some dealers like ourselves are willing to help in this transition and we have several solutions which we can take people through.
We are already helping our customers with migration to Roon and we are willing to help anyone that contacts us or phones us.
Companies have to make decisions that will affect people like this. Microsoft has done it a number of times with its operating software.
Sooloos is a great system however development was ceased and the development team became Roon so it makes sense to migrate over.
Regards
Edd
