My system list is as follows (all devices are of the newest firmware):
DAC : DirecStream Junior DAC
router: ASUS ac86u
Roon core: rock on intel nuc 7th i7
I have enabling “Multicast Routing” for my router. The core and DAC both connect wired to the router directly. However, music stops playing for about 4 to 5 seconds. This happens randomly in the middle of a track.
Hi Dylan,
This behavior occur with TIDAL and local, and my local music is stored in the second internal HDD of nuc. If I play the music to my NB’s speaker (through WiFi to my NB), this behavior does not occur.
I have used this device to work with Roon from February, and have no problem until this month. The differences are the updating of the Roon service and I replaced the router from ASUS ac68u to ac86u. Maybe I try to use a ac68u to do the test. This device works well via usb and TOSLINK. Only working with Roon has this issue.
Since this behavior seems to have occurred around the time that you switched your router I would definitely give this test a go if you still have the same router available. Let us know if there is any difference when using the old router.
