Hello @thelsuman ,

Thanks for reaching out. Does this issue also happen when you play to your System Output zone? If you try to lower the resolution of the stream in Roon Settings → Qobuz, does that allow the track to stream? How is the Windows 10 connected, via WiFi or Ethernet?

Hello,
It’s stable for system output. Stable for lower resolution streams (redbook and lower), but not at 24/96 or higher. Roon core (laptop) is connected via WiFi.

Can you try connecting to the Roon Server by Ethernet cable instead of WiFi as a test?

While WiFi can work as a Roon Server connection wired Ethernet is preferred and recommended.

Actually, it’s still flaky at 16/44.1

Connected laptop to Ethernet cable. That seems to have worked. Thanks!

Good to hear!
I know Wi-Fi has a convenience factor but honestly to aim for Roon rock solid streaming performance, if you can hard wire the Server it’s the way to go always.
