No, I never have issues with with Qobuz in Roon, I used to outside of Roon all the time.

Today 13h30 local time, Qobuz is working fine.
Hopefully, after 2 evenings with stuttering issues, it remains like that this evening.
(and it is not an issue with my telecomās provider network , with speedtest results > 200MBits)
No problems whatsoever with local files through Roon, and this for many years (started 2018).
In fact, this is the first week in many years using Qobuz (through Roon) that I encountered stuttering problems.
(There have been some āno connectionā problems, but once playing no SQ issue whatsoever)

Had this happen to my KEF LS50W IIās the other night. Couldnāt figure out why it kept stopping, tried all of restarting the speakers etc, then noticed what I was playing was hi-res, then played a normal res and everything wa fine. Havenāt tested since, so who knows.
Depends on the case. This one is certainly not Qobuz alone.
What would be a situation where the network would play same files from tidal and qobuz, one stuttering and one not?
Depends on the files, the streaming subscription type (CD or hires), possibly the related settings in Roon (max. resolution that is configured in Roon for Qobuz/Tidal). Tidal bandwidth needs are generally smaller (MQA) than hires Qobuz.
It can certainly also be other stuff out of your control, such as the speed & latency you get to the nearest CDN node that you get from Tidal or Qobuz. Or temporary issues on the streaming server side.
Since I can stream high-definition video (or more than one at a time even) on my network without any issues, I doubt that the bandwidth of a music file is going to be significant. I also donāt use MQA. While a mystery, it seems that there is something with Qobuz network or roonās implementation that would account for the qobuz stuttering vs smooth playback via Tiday.
Neither had I in much longer until last year. Then it went to crap for a few months then sorted its self out. Itās cloud and regional based you canāt rule out it not being them or isp/cdn issues and keep blaming people networks all the time. If itās worked for years and nothings changed it points to other areas. You search other audio sites they have many people having issues with Qobuz but not Tidal. I do think they have infrastructure issues. I donāt think this is Roon as for me it affected all other apps to including their own. I debugged my entire network and couldnāt find any issues and nothing changed it.
As has been discussed 1000 times, this is something completely different. 1. Video uses large buffers and is less sensitive on temporary speed drops. Roon canāt do this so much because it must be able to stream to several output zones on different hardware in sync. 2. Video codecs are adaptive and can temporarily drop bandwidth needs, music codecs donāt.
If you use Tidal you do, whether you use MQA decoding or not.
Itās possible but then we need an explanation why some people are apparently never affected
Video has a higher buffer than audio in apps so not really something you can compare. Also they all host at different CDNs and isps often donāt route you the best way to them. So donāt rule out your internet itās not necessarily the speed in general but the latency from the location itās coming from and one destination can be bad where all others are fine.
Maybe you were too fast before I added this above:
And if someone like @terzinator says that they have the issue with local files, then I can certainly blame the local network or something else in the local setup
Alright, still no example of how my network might be causing this problem.
I wasnāt looking for network advice, but you suggested it, and I am open to the possibility if you have any.
I never talked about YOUR network ever. I talked about @terzinatorās who says he has the issue with local files
Ok, I can accept the mystery. I personally will never comprehend how the internet works.
