I did some experimenting this weekend. It takes a lot of time, because the skipping isn’t that frequent, although very annoying, as you probably can imagine.
Skipping occurs with Qobuz and Tidal content.
I tried two other endpoints. First a remote, an Android tablet. Second my NUC, but instead of Euphony/StylusEP I used Euphony/Roon Bridge. In both cases skipping occurred.
My router is a Netgear Nighthawk R7000 (latest firmware). The router, NAS, Roon core machine and NUC endpoint are connected through a Netgear Prosafe FS105 switch.
Please let me know what I can do to help find a solution.
I’ve been playing with lowered quality settings for Tidal and Qobuz for 7 hours straight without any skipping.
It’s hard to say if there’s a clear pattern, I haven’t detected any. Local files haven’t skipped so far. Qobuz content seems more susceptible than Tidal. But this is hardly a trustworthy observation as - when Roon radio is doing the selection of tracks - more Qobuz tracks come up, which might be connected to the fact that I use Qobuz more often and have more Qobuz tracks in my library. By far the most tracks that skipped played for 50% or less. A few times skipping occured after 80% of the track had played.
Tomorrow I’ll play max quality again, and will provide timestamps if and when tracks skip.
