Hi Steven Dive.

I can't comment from the aspect of you are asking about using Parallels, 2019 MacBook Pro and Mac OS. Hopefully someone in the Forum using that combination will answer those questions, positively for you.

For everyone just using a PC, I have used MConfig without any problem on Windows 10 ever since it was originally released. All the Meridian Softwares still work on the latest version of Windows 10 such as Sooloos Touch PC, MConfig software suite installer, Meridian Device Manager Installer V37, Sooloos ControlPC (Sooloos Core required) and Meridian Explorer2 Windows USB driver.

I have no intention of upgrading to Windows 11 until I am told everything is working fine. I have a Free Upgrade to Windows 11 as I got myself a Microsoft Surface Studio 2 which has a 28” PixelSense™ Display with 4500 x 3000 (192 PPI) resolution, 3:2 aspect ratio, and 10 point multi-touch. It is now my ROON Core but I also still use Sooloos as I know where everything is quicker given I bought my C15 in March 2013, 9 years ago. The Studio 2 makes the C15 look and feel very ancient. I can highly recommend the Studio 2 as a ROON Core. It is simply all about the screen !

I am still getting used to ROON (essentially the core team that started Sooloos in the USA, but with their ability to software decode MQA streaming with from Tidal, it is an a necessity for me. I have an 861v6 and enjoy my surround sound so have no choice but to use ROON. It goes through to to my ID41 and it of course is not "authenticated on the 861v8 nor my DSP8000SE's, ROON shows you that and there is a very distinct difference for the better playing my MQA Album versions from Tidal compared to my FLAC versions on Sooloos. I can live with that but I do have an 218 bought but not in my hands as yet, to put between the 861v8 and the DSP8000SE's to get the best of both worlds.

For anyone using a PC to run Meridan software, go ahead and upgrade to Windows 10 but hang off from upgrading to Windows 11 until you receive the positive feedback of everything still working by someone on this Forum.


Cheers,


Steve M
