Tidal Max stutters running 1392 Sonoma 14.4.1

Hi all,

I changed Tidal to MAX - it stutters when running Tidal in Roon. changing back to HIGH everything is okay.
When changing back to MAX it takes a while but at random it start stuttering again and all of a sudden it drops connection. So for now my Tidal MAX account is worthless :frowning:

this happens after the 1392 update …

How do you connect your Roon Server and endpoints to your network?

Hello Martin,

using polymere fiberoptic to my endpoint. First I thought it was my PFO to RJ45 so I switched to UTP(cat8) but stutter stayed the same. Next I changed the Tidal service in ROON to “High” instead of “Max” and I am listening the whole morning without any disruption to Playlists from ROON/Tidal.

FYI I thought is was at random but there is a pattern, when 44.1kHz is used Tidal library or my own local library, there is no stutter at all, with 192kHz Tidal library some tracks do stutter. (example Sheik Yerbouti) I added this (downloaded to my local library) and played this record without any problems at all.

I hope there is a solution for this …

What are you using for the server, and is this connected to your router using Ethernet?

Should be stp cat 5e or 6. Higher shielded cat can introduce grounding errors.

Hi Martin, using Mac Mini M2 16/512 as server and yes it is wired connected.
