Vinyl bar & whisky corner are probably exactly what I need tonight. Although I would have expected vinyl corner and whisky bar…
Anyway, OCD kicked in and I got a new Realtek based USB-C to Ethernet adapter - to have tested everything. I have streamed through the complete Dexter Gordon A Swingin’ Affair at 192/24 without total dropouts just minor glitches. No stops.
Then Mahler No 1 on Telarc on lower resolution despite DSD… now a different performance of the symphony on vinyl…
I will not say problem solved yet… but we seem to be on the track…
Replacing the USB-C Ethernet adapter used on the Macbook seems to have done the trick. I am streaming 192/24 from Qobuz without dropouts yesterday evening and this morning.
The old adapter did not have the Ethernet dropout problem earlier and even now it only shows when streaming via Roon. Anyway, the new adapter works flawless as does streaming.
