Then that’s most likely the problem. 192/24 needs rather high bandwidth, as far as audio goes, and Roon’s RAAT protocol streams decoded PCM samples rather than compressed FLAC files like most others, so the bandwidth needs are higher. It also has small buffers to ensure synced multiroom, so it’s more sensitive to wifi speed fluctuations. Hence it is more demanding than other protocols and 192/24 in your case seems to push it over the edge
Thank you for your answer. So even if the speed upload is 150 Mbps you think this is the answer. So it would not help to install the core on another new mac equipment as Mac mini for instant?
The internet has nothing to do with this, the most likely issue is the wifi speed between your core and the endpoints. A Mac mini is typically also fast enough.
Wifi can fluctuate a lot. It may help to get as many devices as you can off the wifi and wired, and definitely your Roon core. Or, if you haven’t already, install a good mesh wifi.
You can test / rule out the wifi by temporarily running Ethernet cables if in any way possible
The link I posted explains a bit and names some brands. It’s a distributed Wi-Fi system that typically uses different transmission bands for connection back to the router (the „backhaul“) to distribute load and can cover a larger area.
Buffer size and some other settings under the advanced tab seem device dependent.
I have buffer size on one DAC but not another using the same Roon Remote.
But there should be more settings in advanced anyway (unless they are all not there for the Akurate, which seems unlikely) and it should be possible to scroll down.
