Description Of Issue
I can’t get more than 30-60 seconds of playback without it pausing itself with a pop. Whether I’ve closed my iPad or not. Playing a DSD64 track. Last incident around 2:08 pm cst.
Also cannot use the help link from the Roon app as the support page keeps giving a 502 server error.
It does not only happen on DSD. Also tried a 96 kHz track.
This has happened before. I haven’t been using Roon for a while since for me it’s always having some type of issue. Many a time I’ve had to shut down Roon server and relaunch.
I have not tried Roon with a different DAC in a while. Other DAC is kept for Aurender unit.
I just disabled my Ethernet adapter and enabled WiFi and now it’s playing back without pausing. There must be some setting on my 10gbe adapter that Roon server doesn’t like. Not sure if this is normal for Roon client app for iPad, but every time I go back to the Roon app the screen has to go blank and give me a wait graphic for 5 seconds. Is that also a network related issue? I have no such issue with other player software. Screens do not go blank or show wait icons when opening the app.
It looks like the Ethernet adapter’s settings were reset somehow. After setting the frame size back to 9xxx it’s working again on Ethernet without pausing.
