Signal break up on 7 month old Bluesound Node 2i


I stream music on a Bluesound Node 2i using Tidal.  I hard wired my Bluesound using CAT6 cable and I connected the Bluesound by way of RCA cables to my ARCAM AVR 550.  All of a sudden after many hours of listening, I am experiencing signal break up and a stuttering sound when playing one album titled, "Eternal Light" by Morten Lauridsen.  So far, I am not experiencing this problem when playing other albums from my library.  I wonder if anyone might have experienced this problem and if they know what might be causing this problem.  My Bluesound Node 2i is about 7 months old.

I also wonder if anyone can hear a difference when playing MQA Tidal recordings.  For some reason I think I can hear greater clarity and a larger sound stage.  Is it possible when playing my Bluesound Node 2i connected RCA to my ARCAM in order to get the complete unfold of MQA if I am hearing a higher resolution.  Perhaps higher than 24/96.  Unfortunately, the Bluesound does not display the level of resolution as when I was playing it through a ProJect S2 DAC.

You are all so knowledgeable and I will certainly enjoy reading your responses.

I am streaming Tidal not playing CD’s.
What do you mean by rip it?

You said this was from you library. So you had to rip it for it to be in your library. Please try to keep  up.......
Your best investment would be to separate home theater from 2 channel. Far better than worrying about DACs, Tidal, etc.......
