These seem to be the correct instructions for changing the DNS that we mean (i.e., the Gateway DNS that the router uses to look up stuff on the internet):
Almost done, do I use google numbers or cloud fare?
Doesnāt really matter but I prefer Cloudflare because it isnāt Google. According to the description, there should be two fields as expected, so enter Cloudflare as the primary and Google as the secondary, this adds redundancy in case Cloudflareās DNS should have a problem, then it would switch to Googleās
Ok done, gonna try the Zappa tune
Do reboot the router after the change as recommended
Big bummer, after all that, doesnāt work. Still skips song
Must be the node 2i I guess
Itās always about ruling out one after the other. On the upside, new better cable and better DNS which only helps and maybe avoids an issue that you would have had in the future.
Though Iām running out of new ideas now.
I guess, thanks so much to you all for your help and time. Gonna reset everything to red book cd quality for now
As itās always the same track, I am also starting to blame your Node. Found this from 3 years ago, but itās at least not unheard of. Seems to have a working solution too that is worth trying (at least for some cases if not the one this guy had. The āAudio Clock Trimā thing I mean):
Thanks. I do remember something about Node 2i static. I will keep looking in to it.

Hi, Iām sending you the settings of my Node 2i to compare. Also connected to an external DAC via coax, because I donāt think the DAC of the node is that great.
The software hasnāt been updated for 2 years because I always check before an update whether there are any problems with it. And since that was the case at the time, I left everything as is and itās going perfectly.
Also the Zappa track, everything as it should be.
Hope it helps
Thanks. Pretty sure I have my node2i set up like yours, still wonāt play the track. I guess I have to buy a type c to b cable and go direct from laptop to ps audio dac. Iāll have to also download the driver for this to work, hopefully as I am not having much luck with this at all
Can anyone suggest a usb cable for me?
What are the most important settings on the node 2i? Maybe I do have something set wrong
Also, maybe I have a setting wrong in Roon. Not using any dsp. Should I be?
Iām sorry, the BlueOS app uses my phoneās system language and it is German. Do you have the BlueOS app on your phone, available for both Android and iOS? Then you can compare.
Nope, no need for DSP.
I do have it on my iPhone, looks the same. In your screenshot of Roon path playing the track, what are the first 2 setting you have that show before the node 2i, I donāt have that
Oh, thatās just two other players playing at the same time. This is a Roon Multiroom zone. You donāt need it.
Btw, this albumās playing gapless completely, :))
Not sure as itās a printer cable.
Anyway, with a better dac than the nodeās I would want a better cable
Will have a look what I am using
