dropout streaming


I have noticed very brief dropout of musical notes streaming certain songs on Qobuz.  It is often, but not always, at the same spot in a song.  Makes me think it is Qobuz itself, but it could be the internet itself.  anyone else have this issue.  thoughts?

If using Roon where is your Roon database?  I had a similar problem and ended up moving to a dedicated music server from Small Green Computer (i5).  Prior to moving I was running Roon on my MacBook which was using Wi-Fi.  Now run Roon app on phone, MacBook, etc with the Roon database on the i5 which is hard wired to my network.  Also need a streamer which buffers.  I’ve found many companies selling DAC’s really don’t know / invest much in streamer cards solutions.   I moved to Bricasti.  High quality build with excellent streamer.  All residential internet services experience wait times, gaps, channel overloads and interrupts because of competing network connections.  Again look for a streamer company that understands networking and builds buffering into their solutions.
