Hello, lately (probably somewhere around Roon release when RAAT was switched from UDP to TCP?) i am occasionally getting 1-3 second dropouts on beginning of the track (be it local or tidal).
HW and NW should be fine i believe (Roon running on i7 NUC with Linux and dedicated NW interface for the Bridge2 - connected via TP-Link optical transceivers).
I did not have this issue before (there was Roon release and new Bridge2 firmware release around the same time when it started to appear - so i guess the guilty would be one of those two…).
Here is the log + interface stats taken after I got another short dropout today:

I would agree that everything in your system is up to date.
