WIFI- Using Metrum Ambre
Audio Devices (Specify what device you’re using and its connection type - USB/HDMI/etc.)
Metrum Ambre via I2S to Metrum Onyx to McIntosh MA6600
I just updated Roon software and getting all kinds of glitchy playback with Tidal…Playing Beck’s, Morning Phase.
I’m using wifi but am in the same room as the roon core. I do not have DSP activated either. which I know can be a common problem. I can’t make it through one song with out multiple gaps. it’s maddening
It’s sad because I just renewed for another year, but if this keeps happening, I’ll just stick to Vinyl.
Being in the same room as your core device has no effect on WIFI. Your WIFI devices are not connected to each other. They are connected to your router, wherever it is. WIFI is not bluetooth.
I suggest you have ethernet cables pulled to both your Roon core device and your Roon end-point. That is what I did. Tidal MQA works perfectly.
Thanks for confirming that things seem to work okay with System Output. This generally tends to point toward networking issues. As we mention in our Networking Guide, we always recommend using an Ethernet connection whenever possible for best results.
As long as it meets our requirements, this is an option. You could also try using an Ethernet connection for the Ambre and see if that helps.
You may also want to try using Google DNS which we’ve seen help improve TIDAL performance.
Do not use WiFi at least only for the app, purchase a nuc and put Roon on it, purchase a switch and connect your router, nuc and Ambre to that switch. Almost impossible to still have problems
Especially when it comes to your Core’s connection, Ethernet is always recommended. While I understand this worked previously, we often find that WiFi can sometimes be unreliable and that an Ethernet connection will resolve any of these types of issues. Even if just as a brief test, it would be good to connect via Ethernet and see if there’s any change.
