Hey @btm.band,
Thanks for the detailed report and system description, that background was really helpful.
Good news first: I’ve been through your Roon Server logs and the issue was not with your network, PC, or Technics SU-R1000. It was a temporary problem on Qobuz’s end with three specific track files on that album.
The logs show the same three tracks failing every time, Leichte Kavallerie: Overture (track 1), Daphnis et Chloé: Suite No. 2 (track 10), and Tico-Tico no fubá (track 11), while every other track on the album played perfectly.
Each failure occurred at the exact moment Roon requested the file from Qobuz’s servers, before the audio reached your equipment. When a genuine network, cabling, or USB fault is involved, the failures land on random tracks; seeing the same three fail while their neighbours play flawlessly is the signature of a server-side content glitch.
Qobuz has since re-provisioned those files, which is why the album now plays through without issue.
On your setup specifically, the logs are very healthy. Your buffers stayed at 100% throughout, and Roon’s upsampling to DSD256 ran comfortably in real time, so your SKY fibre → CAT5 → TP-Link switch → PC → Technics chain is coping well with hi-res streaming. There’s nothing you need to change.
If you ever hit a track that won’t play again, the quickest check is to try that same track in the Qobuz desktop or mobile app. If it also fails there, it’s confirmed to be on Qobuz’s side and worth reporting to them directly, there’s nothing to fix locally.
Within Roon, skipping past the track and back, or removing and re-adding it to the queue, will pull a fresh copy from Qobuz.
Do let us know if anything similar crops up.
