Innuos Zenith MK3

Not yet. It happened with my library too which made me think it’s an Innuos issue

Thanks! Coincidental that you were using an Ayre. But, I had a borrowed Codex and don’t remember a problem. Since about s month ago I switched to an Ayre QB9 Twenty and that’s when I started having problems. Haven’t been able to get to Innuos yet but will keep trying. I’ll look into the USB hub too.

My model cam as 1.4.8 so, probably not the issue if that upgrade did it for you. I looked at your setup. Awesome! I’ve seen reviews that put the Pass X250.8 at the top, at any price. I have their Int 60 and it blows me away. I can only imaging what yours sounds like. I’m a newby (but not young!) to hi-fi and just finishing out what sounds pretty good to me, My signal problem might be something stupid. I realized that I had tied in a telephone line to the system that is unrelated to the required signal (it’s CCTV internet signal). Disconnected it and I’m testing now. So far, so good. Thanks for your input!!

Running Qobuz and iPeng and…..2 hours later, knock on wood, no problem. Gotta stop and walk the dog now.

Cheers!

Love my Zenith MK3. Had a skipping issue but, a trip to the Spectrum store to trade out a 20 yr old combo modem/router for an upgraded segregated pair fixed the problem. Haven’t had an issue with the streamer at all. Rips CDs and catalogs library perfectly. I do have an outstanding DAC and they do make a difference because I’ve tried others. I heard that the Mini has a pretty good built in DAC and that you can by-pass it to an exterior upgrade DAC if you choose to. Now I’m trying to put together a turntable set that will sound as good as the digital! I know most folks these days are doing the opposite. These streamers are that good, at least to my ear.

On 7/15 I posted that my skipping issue was caused by my old modem and router. It turned out not to be the case. The skipping started again. Turns out the cause  for the skipping is the DAC. I have an Ayre QB9 Twenty. The earlier Twenty upgrades had an overheating issue. Ayre has an upgrade that fixes the problem and, although out of warranty, they are doing it for no cost to me including shipping both ways. Good company! I took awhile to finally figure this out because, since my controller communication is with the device (the streamer) that is before DAC, I couldn’t understand why I was getting a message “can’t find server”. I still don’t but, the streamer never falters with my spare DAC.

No they didn’t. It had read it in another forum somewhere and that’s when I suspected mine was the same. When I called Ayre I described the problem to them and when I suggested it could be overheating they seemed to be well aware and that many of the earlier upgrades had the same issue. I will certainly be glad to have it back because it sounds so much better than the border patrol back-up that I’m using.

It may be the DAC. I would try to get my hands on a different DAC and see if it still skips. Do you have a local buddy who has one to lend you?
