· Roon is loosing contact with my Metronome DSC1 endpoint

Tell us about your home network

· im an owner of a Metronome DSC 1 streamer. Have had the pleasure of using it since 2020.
though ive had one problem with it, since the start, that i thought to be due to my old 2012 Mac Mini running Roon server.

i have recently upgraded to a Mac Mini M4 and setup a new Roon server. The mac mini only runs the Roon server and is not connected to a screen nor mouse or keyboard. and is connected to ethernet to the same network as the Metronome DSC 1 via an Asus router. and between the Asus router and the DSC 1 there is a Ansuz D2 Switch. The problem i have is still the same even if i shift around with the routers and switches.

so whats the issue then.

Simly. Roon is loosing contact with the DSC 1 on a frequent basis, several times per week.


if i restart Roon, restart Mac OS, restart the Mac mini. restart the DSC 1. power off the DSC1 etc sometimes but not always Roon is able to rediscover the DSC 1 output device.

The real workaround that works every time though, is to launch mConnect on my mobile (connected to wifi), and have it start playing a song to the Metronome DSC 1, then at almost 100% chance the DSC 1 suddenly is rediscovered by Roon. and i can pause the music played via mConnect and start listening via Roon instead. The DSC1 has a third party streamer HW card by Conversdigital same company that develops the mConnect App.

The DSC firmware is the 3.9.20 which i understand is the latest.
The mConnect is the latest. and i update Roon apps and Server same day it is released regurarly.

Im a software engineer so i can get my hands dirty, in configurations etc.
i cannot find any settings or so how the RAAT protocol works and keeps devices connected. cant really find any info on the DSC 1 device either on its streaming feature.

Ive been in contact with Metronome and they suggest to contact with you at Roon to investigate in RAAT-level discovery/session issues.

Hello @pontusjakobsson ,

Thanks for reaching out.

It sounds like the device is going to sleep and not responding to network requests. Can you please reproduce this behavior and let us know the exact local time + date + track/artist? We’ll enable diagnostics and check around that timeframe.
