Ok im back in dangerous thinking mode, been thinking about this and doing a bit off reading yet again, now i may well have picked this up wrong so bear with me, and again you can shoot me down or tell me to sober up as required.
I really like how roon sounds, from memory (but i will check my settings later tonight) the chord is set using wasapi in roon
I also have jriver v23, the chord is set to kernel streaming there and plays faultlessly.
Is there a way off roon linking to jriver (but by passing the sox resampler) then onward to the chord dac so im maintaining the sound quality roon is producing but its using the kernel streaming option available in jriver which is drop out free.
My trial period for roon is due to finish friday, is there anyway i can have the trial period extended to allow me to try and resolves the drop out issues im having during playback.
Eric my sincere apologies for they delay in gettin back to you, it was late (here) so thought best to tackle this tonight so firstly 3 attachments which are hopefully what you require. In answer to your questions
No specific issues with drop out re samples rates
It normally occurs early on, sometimes it calms down and stop after a while (which is weird) sometimes like now after a few hours playing it doesnt.
I dont use tidal
I have one hard drive which i use only for music, i know theres no issue with the drive ordrop out as it plays perfectly using j river. The dac settings there are kernel streaming as recommended by chord.
Rebooting hasno impact, it still occurs
I dont have access to another dac
I dont have a pc screen, i use the tv to kicking roon of then use my tablet to control it so the tv goes off.
Someone suggested checking i had things set up in exclusive mode by for the life of me i cant find, can you assist with that.
Hi @Robert_Burns ---- Thank you for the follow up and thank you @andybob for flagging me down/moving this over to “support”.
Robert, in order to enable “exclusive mode” in Roon you are going to want to go to the “audio” tab and click the little “gear” icon next to the Chord EX zone. Next you will see a little window appear and then you want to select “device setup”. In the “device setup” window you will see three “tabs”, you will want to open the “playback” tab and that is were you will find the option to enable “exclusive mode”.
Eric thanks for gettin back to me (and to andybob for forwarding this on). Ok im in theplayback options screen and im looking at 4 options
max sample rate, set at 384mhz,
max bits per sample which is diasabled,
channel layout which is set at 2.0 and finally multichannel mixing strategy whic is set at downmix as needed.
