Roon drops signal


I have been using Roon via a SGC optic transporter and Bricasti M5 streamer feeding a Rockna Wavelight DAC.  Periodically at the completion of an album the signal is dropped and I have to stop and restart the DAC to continue the music.  I reached out to SGC and was told it was likely a networking issue related to Roon.  The really interesting thing is it seems to be specific to certain albums ( ie always occurs at the end of a given album ).  Has anyone encountered a similar drop off?  And more importantly has anyone figured out how to fix this?

One thing about Roon - if you Roon server has been up and running for weeks or months, it might not be a terrible idea to reboot it. Any time I’ve had dropouts (rare), that has solved the issue.

 

I run a Roon Nucleus, wired directly to my DAC which has an inbuilt endpoint.

 

Also, if you’re running WiFi, it might not hurt to run software which can look at local channel usage by your neighbors. When I was running the modem/router supplied by my ISP, I would regularly get drop-outs because my neighbor’s hardware was "louder" from a signal strength standpoint. I bought an ASUS WiFi router and no longer have an issue in this regard.
