Frequent Dropouts with Roon / Nucleus

I get erratic dropouts when playing music files from Nucleus internal storage or streaming from Qobuz.
Dropouts last for around half second.

I am running Roon 2.0 on my Nucleus server ( Serial #54B2039EA729 ).

It happens with both DACs: RME ADI 2 DAC and HOLO Spring 3. Both DACs are connected to my MacbookPro (16 inch M1) via USB ( different cables / ports ).

It started to happen after Roon server update.

Hey @Maris_Orbidans, Roon’s support team will need a bit more detail to help you get this issue resolved. Would you mind filling out the support template below? You can copy and paste it in your reply, thanks!

Hey @Maris_Orbidans,

I wanted to give this thread a bump! If you could please also try to stream audio directly from the system output from your Mac remote and let me know if you continue to run into audio dropouts :+1:
