Description Of Issue
Hello support team,
I just today received my Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital and played around with it.
I do have one problem discovered: with some MQA songs there are dropouts.
Found the linked thread but it was closed without proper solution, or I am wrong?
It seems to be always the same songs but not exactly at the same part of the track.
So for example I do have dropouts always with this track, but sometimes within the first seconds and sometimes in the middle or at the end or both…
In the meanwhile I read a lot in different forums and it seems that the problem is related to the MQA tracks itself and some full MQA HW which is more sensitive than other MQA HW.
As long as you use the HW only as a renderer (it does not matter if the decoding is done with Roon, Tidal or something else) the dropouts are gone.
Thanks for letting us know you were able to resolve this issue! That’s strange that MQA full decoder wasn’t working for you, I’ll also forward this remark to our hardware team in case they wish to persue further. Happy New Year!
