I have a conundrum with internet radio


Hello AG

I have sent a similar message to Novatron for some guidance.

I have a Cocktail Audio X40 that I originally purchased just to rip my cds so I did not have to search through my collection. I have since used it to stream Tidal and use the internet radio function. I use the X40 xlr digital out into a Denafrips Gaia and I2s into a Denafrips Terminator II with very good results. Now the rub, when I go to an internet radio station marked as HD say 320 kbps the X40 will play about 2 seconds and shut down. All other stations really sound good. A friend of mine is feeding a Parasound P6 from an Ocean Digital WR 10 and has no problems playing any channels marked HD or 320 kbps. I have tried on three different dacs no luck. Perhaps I am missing a setting in the X40. I am not exactly a computer savant so I know I am missing something somewhere. Anyone out there that can point me in the right direction?

 

Best regards

Just some thoughts. Are you using wireless or a hard wired network connection? If wireless, you might see if a wired connection makes a difference. Can you play any 320kbps stations? My streamer works fine with 44k streams, but not with 48k, I get silence.
