Roon Server on Synology DSM 7 Situation

With the new DSM 7 RC (DSM 7.0-41882) I have some issues too with Roon when fetching music from Tidal (especially MQA files).

I get lot’s of stuttering to the point I can’t enjoy music. As I can see from the signal path it has to do with Roon passing the MQA files to my iFi Zen Dac v2 (has full MQA decoding capability). Sometimes it auto-heals when I restart the Roon Server at Synology.
With local MQA files, it just works as it should.
Btw, the behaviour is the a little better when I leave all MQA decoding to Roon, but the issue is still there.


With Roon + Tidal MQA file

roon-mqa-tidal


With Roon + Local MQA file

roon-mqa-local


As I said, there are times where the issue gone when I restarted the server, but it comes back at some point.
Not even sure if this is the correct topic to post this. Sorry if it’s not :slight_smile:
