Difficult to connect to Roon Ready dCS Lina DAC
I can play Roon tracks with my iPad as an output device without any problems. The dCS Lina DAC can play Tidal Connect streams (without Roon) without any problems.
When attempting to play Roon to the Roon Ready Lina DAC, the DAC can be selected as an output device but when I try to play an album, often no music is played. Roon skips a number of tracks after unsuccessful playback and eventually gives the ROON Error "Too many failures, stopping playback"
Track names appear of the display of the DAC but music is not played. After powering on the DAC it takes a long time for Roon to detect the DAC (30 seconds).
After multiple attempts and powering off the server and DAC I can eventually connect to the DAC and then playback works well.

Thanks for writing in and I’m sorry to hear you’re having issues with your dCS DAC. From our end, it looks like you’re hitting a failure to prepare error:
Warn: [dCS Lina DAC] [zoneplayer/raat] Failed to prepare dCS Lina DAC in 15000ms. Giving up
[1090] 04/15 13:03:06 Warn: [dCS Lina DAC] [zoneplayer/raat] failed to setup any endpoints..giving up

Can you attempt a factory restore on the DAC? We can also refresh your RAATServer database to see if that helps.
You can generate a new RAATServer instance on your device by following these instructions, but please be aware that this will reset your Roon Settings → Audio Tab to factory settings and I would advise making a backup of any custom DSP settings you have:

Describe the issue
Difficult to connect to Roon Ready dCS Lina DAC I have previously posted a support item ref#WF1DPI that has expired. @benjamin advised me to both reset to dCS DAC to Factory Settings as well as generate a new RAATServer instance. I did both these actions. The system functioned well but the intermittent problem came back.
I can play Roon tracks with my iPad as an output device without any problems. I also sometimes have problems connecting to the dCS Lina DAC using Tidal Connect. Below is a copy of my original support request.
