Thank you for the update. In that case, it sounds like there’s something unusual with playback to the HiFiBerry from Roon. That’s good news, since we’ve likely eliminated a few variables which were at play.
At this point, it might be helpful to reset RAATServer to see if that stabilizes playback to the HiFiBerry. Please give the following steps a try and let us know the result:
- Create a Backup of your current Roon database
- Exit out of Roon
- Navigate to your Roon’s Database Location
- Find the folder that says “RAATServer”
- Rename the “RAATServer” folder to “RAATServer_old”
- Restart the Roon App to generate a new RAATServer folder
I know this has been an arduous and drawn out process over many weeks at this point, so we’re grateful for you continuing to work through troubleshooting steps. We should have your system in fully reliably condition shortly once we try a few more things.
