If that’s so, it’s VERY much worth investigating! I’m VERY disappointed with the iOS endpoint support of Roon 1.4, because it basically stopped the possibility of using my iPad as… indeed, an endpoint.
I used iPeng to enable this and worked pretty much okay, but since Roon 1.4 it’s totally frustrating — constant skipping like you describe. No matter if it’s hi-res or just redbook I select. I use my iPad on a bluetooth keyboard and with bluetooth headphones, so disabling is not an option for me.
Unfortunately, I’m not able to go back to 1.3. Also, I can no longer use iPeng to do what it did. So I’m worse off than before. Would be nice if the Roon team would take this seriously.
EDIT: I described the issue in the following thread, but haven’t heard from @support since. Hope it helps that more people experience similar problems.
