Another one today, @benjamin this time a 4 second track triggered the delay of the subsequent one.
This time, playback was from the core running on in my iMac, wired to my OPPO HA-2 headphone amp/dac.
Album: Exposure, by Robert Fripp - disc 1 playback
Playback of Tracks 1 through 12 = no issues, gapless and without delays/pauses/buffering.
Track 12 (“I May Not Have Had Enough Of Me But I’ve Had Enough Of You”) to Track 13 (“First Inaugural Address To The I.A.C.E. Sherborne House”) = smooth and gapless as above
Track 13 (“First Inaugural Address To The I.A.C.E. Sherborne House”) to Track 14 (“Water Music I”) = very brief gap, with UI signalling buffering / loading
14 (“Water Music I”) to Track 15 (“Here Comes The Flood”) and through to the end of the album’s last track, Track 17 (“Postscript”), perfect.
Once again - it’s a track under 10 seconds causing the issue. it took place around 14:46/14:47 UK time this afternoon.
