Description Of Issue
Hi Fellow Roon users and Support,
I’ve had good success with the above Roon setup for some years now. However, just recently the core has developed a stutter when playing some Tidal tracks. The best example of this is John Caffery’s “Eddie and the Cruisers” sound track. When I play track 8, “Heat of the Night” the first three seconds of the track is repeated before the track continues to play. Other Tidal tracks have similar stutters and dropouts.
The problem can be reproduced 100% of the time, at the same place on ALL endpoints.
I have no issues when playing my local library or when streaming internet radio.
It’s not the network or the Tidal source data stream. If I play the same track through Tidal’s app. it plays flawlessly. Definitely has to be a problem on the core! Core machine is dedicated to Roon and is not resource CPU, network or disk bound.
Does that track play for properly for you? Suggestions?
Thanks
