Yeah, that's kind of the conclusion I've been coming to, but adding a roon subscription essentially to solve an interface problem that shouldn't exist feels bad, and opens another avenue to pour money down.
But given I've been buying a lot of stuff on Bandcamp and am gradually amassing a flac library again, maybe it is just time to bite the bullet on that.
I hate to say it but Roon would make your problems with Tidal streaming go away. The KEF's are very popular on the Roon forum. It seems that people have issues streaming to them above 44/16 wirelessly but that needn't be a problem.
£1k later you can have an NUC running Roon and a lifetime licence. I'm very happy I went down that route but it seems like a lot of money at the outset. You can of course subscribe to Roon annually.
