Streaming Qobuz via iPad


I have the Qobuz app on my iPad and I stream to my Marantz streamer into my Bifrost 2 DAC. The thing is the streaming is twitchy or even drops out for a second or two before continuing on. By twitchy I mean I get these hangups in the music accompanied by pops. 
 

what could be causing this?  Is this an iPad issue or bandwidth issue? Also, just to confirm, is the iPad just acting as a remote control and the Wi-Fi music signal is coming from the Wi-Fi router?  Sorry not really technically proficient in computer.

Thank you for the responses.

sfar,

can you elaborate?

 

btw, I should have added this originally; I use Tidal as well and it doesn’t glitch, However it used  to glitch the same as I am currently glitching with Qubuz when I selected hi-res music.  When I brought it down to CD quality the glitching stopped. But with Qubuz I get glitching with CD quality. 

Also forgot to mention that while listening to the music while using the Qobuz app and looking around in the app, music glitches more.

the weird thing is, while the song is playing, if you look at the songs progress bar, the music data appears to load well ahead relative to where it is in the actual playback. But I’m still glitching.

 

BTW Cleeds, 

to be clear, I’m using it the Qobuz app on the iPad to control the music. 

Yeah, I ended up going with Mconnect HD(Bubble for IO). Works like a charm, no more Airplay, I get full resolution.

I went with Qobuz because I kept reading it was better than Tidal I was using. I didn’t realize AirPlay was the issue. My streaming is perfect now, no glitches.  My only question now is I don’t know if Qobuz through Mconnect will change the quality vs going strait from a Qobuz embedded device?

I have the ND8006. I think I should be using the HEOS (marantz) app. But is doesnt appear to have Qobuz

I actually have the Bluesound on order. Currently I run the Marantz but it goes into NAD M51 DAC. The sound is great from what I can tell.
