Can you connect your core via Ethernet instead of WiFi and see if that makes a difference.

Hi Daniel

Thanks for the suggestion that would help with the streaming stutter(if thats the right term) but it would not helpwith replaying files from my laptop libary. I am gussing its a computer issue maybe ram i dont know im no expert

So your music is on a local drive to the core? And your DAC is plugged into the Core?

yes my core (laptop) has music files on it and also use the laptop for streaming
i have a cyrus soundkey dac pluged into the laptop

Hi Darren,

Fellow user here, btw. If you have your music on the laptop and playing those files is giving you skips, then I would concentrate on using that as the baseline to figuring out the issue, since it eliminates the network. The next thing I’d do is eliminate the Cyrus and set Roon to use the laptop’s System Output as a test. If you can play to that without issue, then you know the cause lies somewhere with the Cyrus.
