Very strong distortion [Resolved]

Thanks for the details, @Arie_van_Boxel!

Can you confirm if this primarily happens with AAC files and not FLAC? If so, I’d recommend you check out this thread:

Build 334: AAC 24bit conversion - audio artefacts [Resolved B339]

Build: 334 Core: On QNAP NAS Endpoint: Squeezebox Transporter Symptom: I’ve been listening to some of TIDAL’s AAC output which goes through Roon’s new 24bit conversion. There are some odd audio playback artefacts - at higher peak levels within the track it sounds like a sort of clipping is introduced - a highish frequency ‘crispy’, ‘speckly’ sound overlaying the track. FLAC is unaffected. I’ve tried somelocal mp3 as well and can’t detect any problems there.

This is something the team is currently working on resolving. There are some troubleshooting steps and solutions you can try in that thread as well.

Thanks,
Dylan
