@cleeds, I was streaming Qobuz and the sound quality was poor and I was getting dropouts. I called my Cable Company and they said the cable signal needs to be in a certain frequency signal range and my signal was LOWER than it should be (meaning it was out of the required operating range).
In any case, the service person arrived and adjusted the cable signal so that it was in the correct frequency range. Since he was here, and very knowledgeable and helpful, I asked him to check EVERYTHING. He said my outside junction box was corroded and replaced it. He then checked the outside cable amplifier and it also needed to be adjusted. He also replaced my inside cable wiring and completely rewired my outside cable junction box. He then tested everything and said I was good to go. I immediately tested my Qobuz streaming and it was great.
The cable signal being out of frequency range is nothing you can check for. When I called my Cable Company complaining about streaming sound quality, etc. the person reported my cable frequency was out of the required frequency range and it needed to be adjusted. Does this answer your question?
My advice is if you are having streaming sound quality issues and dropouts, you need to ask your Cable Company to check these components.
