4 posts were split to a new topic: Dropouts when playing DSD content to a QB-9 DSD
Any more news from QA or Chord on this? Still unable to upsample to dsd without regular hiccupsā¦

I have the same issue. Even when 2Qute is connected directly to Nuc ROCK.
I wrote Chord on the subject and recieved an answer:
Hi Mikael
Ok, so as my understanding goes, you are streaming DSD from a Roon core, to a Pi that is acting as a Roon node, that you then have Mojo connected to and using as the DAC.
The dropouts that you are hearing are actually missing data from the file. There is a tiny mute that we have implemented in Mojo when it doesnāt receive data for 1200 cycles (running at 104MHz) so that you donāt experience an audible click or pop.
Unfortunately as DSD requires such a large transfer rate there is a higher chance of data going missing during transfer!
I hope this helps!
Does this make any sense to you @Eric?
Iām having the above issue with a 2Qute, not a Mojo soā¦ 
Yeah I had this problem with the Mojo and the 2Qute with DSD. I was also using sMS-200 streamer (not Pi) and still got āhiccupsā
hereās a post by Rob Watts about the DSD hiccups issue
looks it should be gone with Hugo 2 and soon to be released Qutest DACs
I can confirm I experienced hiccups with 2Qute and Mojo but no issues with Hugo 2.

for some mysterious reason hiccups are now gone 
played, yesterday, a DSD128 album without the faintest issue 
nothing was changed, since my very first post, apartā¦ Roon version (now at 1.4-298)
(Mac mini, OS 10.11.6, running Roon Server -> Auralic Aries -> ISO Regen -> Audiophilleo 1 SE -> Chord 2Qute)
Is there any more news on this? After reading the above post I had an evening upscaling a 24/96 album to 128 dsd without any problems and I too thought the issue was fixed. But then I tried a 16/44 cd rip and the hiccups were back in abundance. i5 Nuc rock > sotm sms-200 > 2qute
