Hello!
My first post here, so please be nice!
I have used Roon for a couple of years now. I love it. It just do what it should without any problems.
I have recently bought a Roon Rock device and also a LPS to it. I was curious about the Raspberry as a endpoint and got me one of those. I use it in a Akasa case and have a lps from Douk Audio as a power supply. I got it running yesterday. And so the problem started.
I use a Esoteric K-07 as a dac.
When playing especially high rez music I got dropouts when using the asynchronous high speed usb mode on the Esoteric. All works fine when using high speed usb mode without the asynchronous option.
The Pie is a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5. And it is connected to the network with cable.
I have tested different usb cables on both usb 2 and usb 3 ports without any sort of improvement.
It´s just frustrating.
Any idea where to start looking? All was just hunky dory with my windows htpc as a endpoint. Sounded great to.
Hehe, I have rebooted both the ropieee pie, the nuc rock and my router.
But when playing high rez Qobuz files when using the asynchronous mode it is unplayable. Doesn´t matter which material that I choose. When using the high speed usb mode without the asynchronous option everything is ok. I will try a couple songs to confirm this.
I am doing tests on the fly as we speak. High rez 88khz and above there is a distorsion in the sound. I don´t know if I can call them dropouts because the music doesn´t clip out. It is rather a distorsion.
Cd quality is fine both with local files and Qobuz. I do not have much high rez in my library but I found a Dire Straits album and the result is the same as with the Qobuz high rez.
