Description Of Issue
I would like to use Qobuz but switch to Tidal when Qobuz skips or stops which happens frequently say 3 out of 4 tracks.
Small Green Computer checked out my UltraRendu/ Sonicorbiter two months ago; They said they were ok. I still have the same continuing problem.
Hello @Chas_Foley, and thanks for your report! Have you tried temporarily disabling your firewall/antivirus and playing to system output to see if Qobuz still skips?
Hi Nuwriy,
I don’t understand your question. If your are referring to my iphone, ipad and laptop, all three control play to my stereo system and are working. All Tidal tracks play well; but Qobuz tracks with speeds above 44.1 kHz are interrupted and skip to next track. However, Qobuz 44.1kHz 16 and 24 bit tracks play well without skipping. I
Hello @Chas_Foley, my apologies, I don’t see that reply on the thread. In that case, how is your SonicOrbiter connected to the network? Do you have this issue if you connect it directly to the router?
nuwriy the following may explain why you didn’t get my reply via gmail.

Nuwiry,
This was the last message that I tried to email you. I trying to go tthrough ROON community now.
Hi Nuwriy,
My sonicorbiter is connected directly to the router through a 5 port TrendNet ethernet splitter. Tidal flows on the same line. The Sonore UltraRendu is the only other unit on this splitter.
Hello @Chas_Foley, is this a managed switch you’re using? Can you try connecting the core directly to the router as a test? In our networking best practices, we recommend against using a managed switch if that’s the case.
I’d also try changing DNS on your router to Google or Cloudflare, let me know if either of these changes make a difference for Qobuz.
The switch that I have in my system is Unmanaged. I still am frustrated to have Tidal work well but Qobuz does not. I will have to ask someone to tell me where ROON core is. I think it is on one or the other of my laptop (wireless operation) or the Sonicorditer/UltraRendu combination. For a promoted plug and play a operation this operation is very frustrating.
A follow up concerning emailing to ROON. The last 3 or more times, I attempted to respond to you via Google the email failed. Does that tell you anything?
Hello @Chas_Foley, my apologies for the continued issue here. I would again recommend changing DNS. Also, you can learn which device is your core by going to Settings>About.
Hey @Chas_Foley, nice find! Let’s try Cloudflare and see if you get a better result, let me know if this works. If it doesn’t I’d say let’s connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot or a different network temporarily to see if this is the core or the network having the issue.
