Weiss DAC 204 hiccups

Most streamers buffer the incoming stream really well. In fact on many you can unplug the Ethernet conn and they’ll still play for 20 30 seconds maybe longer 

I also think it’s the Wi-Fi.  You’re losing connection and it reconnects just outside the buffer window.   

I have a TP link and it works great.  Can’t get ether to every room.  

Turn off Audio Clock Trim OFF on the Bluesound 

plug a USB drive into the Bluesound to see if it plays without hiccups.  Also try streaming via USB from a tablet or PC to rule out the music service itself.  
 

A phone with a usb c or lightning to usb B is a good way to isolate the problem as you are on a phone network.  
 

First, thank you to all the contributors.  Very much appreciate the community trying to help me.

Update:  I have plugged the Node into a WIFI extender (First Gen Apple Extreme) fed by the final Gen Apple Extreme.  I have the 2 channel set up by my TV and have never had an issue with pixelation or other video caching which suggests a decent WIFI signal in that spot. The Smart TV, Roku and Apple TV work perfectly 99.9% of the time.  Nonetheless, I placed the extender right by the TV and unfortunately the hiccups still occurred with the Cardas Coax (Brand new).  I then switched over to a Toslink (I found a cheap cable in the box of cables which has all generations of computer cables, iphone cables etc)   I streamed a variety of songs from Amazon and everything was fine.  I then ran a speedtest on my iphone and was getting 120 mbps to 200 mbps downloads and the hiccuping occurred.   After I stopped the download test, it did not hiccup.  I did not run it long enough then to see if it was more stable.

My guess is the WIFI signal may be unstable and could not handle a download test and streaming music together.  Does this indicate the Node is not buffering enough and as a result is affected by unstable internet.  I am in a condo and we have Gigabit service although I never see anything close to that with the Apple Extreme.  At one time I bought a mesh system and frankly the signal strength was no different so I returned it.  

That's my latest update.  

I forgot to mention this.  Someone said they were interested in the Weiss 204.  Notwithstanding the issue I am having, which I am guessing is Node related, the Weiss 204 sound is fantastic.   The detail is amazing, musical and not in the least bit fatiguing and that is before a decent break in period.   So don't disregard the Weiss because of this.
