Finally! I had heard “real soon now” from sources I believe are very well informed (not giving more details to preserve their privacy), it’s great to see it writing!

Unfortunately it seems the Roon Ready upgrade will require one of the newer platforms (Organik) and won’t run on the older DS variants. It’s hard to tell: the release notes say “any DS or DSM Organik” which is hard to parse accurately 
Certainly the beta is not currently publishing itself to Roon on my old DS.
It would be very interesting to hear from any of you with dropout issues, whether the new beta on an Organik platform fixes it. Still unsure whether this is a platform or Ethernet issue in our place.
I’ve been having the same problem - never used to be an issue with Qobuz at 192KHz. Local files at 192KHz play fine, .
I did initially think it might be ISP related, but Qobuz played straight from the Linn app works fine. Restarting the Roon server clears the issue. No issues with network setup etc.
I’ve just updated my NG KDSM to the latest Beta SW and am now Roon Ready so it’ll be interesting to see if this helps in anyway.

Do please let us know how you get on. My Klimax DS/Exakt is not going to get “Roon Ready” - there is a small list of older models that will not be upgraded - and one of the questions I have is whether to move my source to a more modern Linn platform.
(aother Linn Klimax owner) The Roon Ready Linn firmware (4.106.537) has been out now for over a week. It works fine for 192kHz Qobuz on my Organik DSM. But then I had no 192kHz Qobuz issues before.
IMO, the main reason to upgrade to Organik is that it’s just a better DAC.

I have Selekt DSM Edition (Organik) and NUC13 Pro (i5, 32GB RAM) with ROCK and using RAAT streaming. All software on the latest versions.
Network is:
Mikrotik RB5009 router > EE8 switch > Selekt DSM and NUC
I have issues with Tidal streaming even with 96kHz and DSP disabled.
Troubleshooting done:
- Connecting the NUC directly to MT, same problem.
- Tried Ansuz switch instead of EE8 switch, same problem.
Troubleshooting to do:
- Connect Selekt DSM directly to MT router
- Change ethernet cable
- Fix ethernet speed to 100M on MT interfaces
It works fine for a couple of songs and then starts stuttering.
Roon shows enough processing speed.
HiRes Tidal streaming works without problems in Linn app.
Roon HiRes Tidal streaming works without problems to other endpoints.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

To make sure Roon staff sees your report, you should enter a Support case (Support thread). There’s been at least one other report of similar issues with a Selekt that has a support case that Roon staff are looking at.
I’ve not seen anything like this with my Klimax Organik systems.
Sure, I just started to browse the support section to learn about similar reported cases. I’ll do some more troubleshooting on my own and if all fails, report the issue. Thanks.
Update:
On the Mikrotik router, I fixed the speed to 100M on both NUC and EE8 interfaces.
Testing the whole day and not a single stutter. Fingers crossed.
Another suggestion is to switch the Linn’s Songcast protocol from multicast (default) to unicast, if anyone has similar problems. If it’s one of the newer devices that now supports Roon Ready / RAAT, I find it far more reliable than Songcast.
