Sounds like a bad digital cable. Or a clock in the BS Node is malfunctioning.
The network stream is buffered in the BS Node so it would have to be an outage of more than 30 seconds. Try Toslink or another digital cable or even an RCA cable. Even if cd player used as transport doesn’t suffer from the same problem it could still be a cable. But to rule out wifi issues you can run a speed test on your phone when you’re next to bs node. Make sure you’re on the same network. Let us know what speed you get on a download.
Weiss DAC 204 hiccups
I very recently acquired a Weiss DAC 204 which I am streaming Amazon HD Music to via a Bluesound Node 2i. The DAC sounds great and is a huge improvement over the Bluesound and Hegel H190. However, I am getting hiccups once in a while. I have connected the Bluesound to the Weiss using a Cardas Parsec Coax cable. Unfortunately, I do not have a choice but to use WIFI. I have had no WIFI stability issues in the past. Seeking help. Would a streamer like a PS Audio Airlens solve the problem. I do not want to spend much more on a streamer than an Airlens. I have been very pleased with Amazon HD, but recognize I might have to switch to Qobuz since very few streamers support Amazon HD. Thank you in advance for advice.

@mojo771 well that certainly sucks. I was considering Weiss just recently as one of the options for my next DAC. Glad I didn’t go with it. |
When you use coax the clock in the streamer is responsible for clocking the signal. With toslink I think the DAC will take over and reclock the signal. With USB you also rely mostly on the clock in the dac. |
