Hi there, finally Qobuz became available in Canada so I happily added it to my Roon. Having difficulties playing hi-res though. Flacs 24/192 start normally, than after 10-15 seconds I get a message “network speed is too slow, Qobuz can’t run….” and skipping to next track in album. Roon core is on my PC being there for year with local files and Tidal playing everyday just fine. Have two dacs one is mqa connected directly to PC using with headphones, the other one rpi4 with hifiberry digi2 HAT running roopieeXL also for about a year. All hard wired, speed 1G. As I mentioned local files 24/192 and Tidal work perfectly fine, only issues with hi-res Qobuz, cd quality runs fine. Both DACs cutting if playing via Roon. PC with Roon core on Win11, 32GB ram ssd nvme, intel 11 gen. Native Qobuz app on PC runs fine. Other streamer (Wiim mini) runs fine, issue only via Roon Qobuz playback.
Not sure where to dig. Please advise. Roon bought lifetime.
I have a related problem in that I cannot see any Hi-res files in Qobuz from within Roon yet I can see Hi-res files from within the Qobuz app. So, I know that they are there. I’ve explored all of the settings from within Roon and Qobuz to ensure that they are set to the highest resolution, restarted Roon, etc. But, to no avail. Any suggestions?
I see hi-res, but ecery track skipping after 13-15 sec to next one in the album.
On main Qobuz page in Roon try going to “new releases”, then select Genre. Let’s say it’s jazz, then Qobuz will show you in the third row like most popular albums. Try for example Oscan Peterson we get requests, it’s in 24/96 skipping as well.
This is evidently not the situation. Moreover, Roon server receives the stream and then forwards this to the endpoint. Consequently, there is twice the network traffic when compared to streaming with the native app.
As I’ve mentioned previously all my devices are hard wired with 1G connection inside the house and 1G connection from ISP. I do not have any issues with my local files played with Roon and or any variations of Tidal mqa and non-mqa playback
My iFi DAC connected directly to USB post of PC with Roon core. My second streamer based on Raspberry Pi4 also hard wired to Asus routers and plays Tidal as well as flacs via UPNP/DLNA without any issues.
I tried my another amp upstairs streaming Qobuz via Airplay to Yamaha WXA50 same issue, after 10-15 seconds it jumps to next song after few second delay. Again no issues with any other services or network playback.
After message in Roon below, next song starts and again 10-15 seconds of normal playback. Same albums Tidal plays ok. I rebooted routers, PC, Streamers multiple times.
Broadband speed is not in question here; it is your local network. Consequently, understanding your network topology, including how devices are connected, helps diagnosis.
Incidently, kindly note that I am a community member and moderator, not a Roon employee.
It’s a wifi mesh system, however, all 4 nodes connected by network cable. My Roon core as well as streamers hard-wired to one of the XT8 nodes, to the same one. So they can talk to each other flawlessly. My mesh nodes are always updated to the last version of firmware, and I rebooted the whole network along with ISP provided modem today and yesterday few times. Not sure if it’s due to Qobuz being new to Canada, or something else is going on.
