Thanks for the response. I thought I gave you all the relevant information described in your
link in my first post. I’ll reformat it for you if that makes life easier and add in the few
missing (and probably not relevant) items. I would add that I have spent far too much time trying to get this response to format properly in the undocumented, bizarre and inconsistent wordwrap restrictions of this message board. I give up at this point - hope you find it legible.
In answer to your other questions:
Is this only happening with FLAC files? Other files are playing okay? - I am only
playing FLAC files via Tidal. Most are 16/44.1 but it also happens with Master files as you would
expect. The problem occurs with locally connected FLAC files as well as Tidal. That’s
because, as I keep saying, the issue is the support (or lack of it) by the Roon native app of
the V30 DAC.
Do you experience this with any other endpoints connected via WiFi?: No. As I said in
my first post, Roon/Tidal works perfectly on my Samsung Note 8 in identical
circumstances. The Tidal native app works perfectly on my LG V30. UAPP (USB Audio
Pro) on my V30 not only works perfectly with Tidal but supports full unfolding of
MQA/Masters to 24/172 or 196, without any clicking or any other problems.
Are you using default settings under Device Setup for your V30? Is DSP disabled? There
is no
DSP option for the phone setup (LG V30 Mod H-930). Device setup is Default: Vol control -
Device volume, Resync delay 0ms, Max Sample rate up to 48kHz, Max bps: 16, zone delay
0ms, Clock master priority: 1MQA decoder not enabled (enabling makes no difference),
Mixing: Downmix as needed.
I am disappounted that there are no plans to address this. The LG V30 is the only
Audiophile, MQA enabled phone on the market in the West. It’s not like other phones - it is
as worthy of support as a Devialet amp, an A&K player or other piece of esoteric equipment
you support - except with greater sales volumes. By the way, I was about to purchase a
lifetime sub to Roon, but as Roon is unusable on my V30 daily driver (the premier
Audiophile phone on the market) I am going to have to defer that.
