Description of Issue
I routinely have dropouts when streaming internet radio stations through Roon to my Cambridge 851N (see logs below), usually within 15 mins of starting the stream, and I’ve reproduced it with the following radio stations repeatably:
- Dash Radio: 80s
- Radio Paradise: Mellow Mix
- SomaFM: Illinois Street Lounge
The 851N can stream internet radio directly, and using the same endpoint links as Roon uses it never drops the streams. I accidentally left Soma playing overnight the other night and it was still going strong in the morning. This is just an issue with Roon streaming internet radio. I don’t know with which version it started but it’s somewhat recent, causing issues over the past 3 months, never had a problem before that.
