Description of Issue
I’m using a Hidiz S9 Pro headphone DAC USB attached to the wireless Pi 4B configured with Ropieee. I’m upsampling to 192 kHz. But the issue occurs on 44khz also. This is a new setup.
When I boot up the Pi in the morning and stream Tidal. There is a loud stream of continuous static overlaying the music. Seems to be more the right channel.
If I stop and the start the the stream three or four times, the static clears and the music plays perfectly for the duration of my listening session.
This issue is unique to the Hidiz, all my other ROON endpoints play perfectly.
I occasionally have a similar issue with my Hiby R6. (Same company as Hidiz)
Although in my case it only happens if I’m upsampling on a music app on the Hiby.
I don’t use the Hiby with Roon.
I can usually resolve this by using the back button to start the track again.
(Edit to partially delete as I confused the Hidiz as being a DAP not a DAC)
You have my sincerest apologies for the delayed response here, we’ve been dealing with a higher-than-usual volume following our release and we’re working as quickly as we can to get back to everyone.
As a next step, please test playing audio directly to your Hidiz S9 Pro headphone DAC, bypassing your Ropoieee, and let me know if your issue persists
