Innuos Zen Mini Mk II with an Ayre Codex

Let me repeat my suggestion: as a cheap trial, get a USB hub from amazon inserted in your USB coneection. If that solves the problem, the Intona solution, while more expensive will be superior. I had the same issue between an Innuos Zenth Mk3 and an Antelope Zodiac Platinum

@antigrunge2 I don't understand why it would help, but if an Insignia USB 2.0 hub from BestBuy will work, I will try one tomorrow. 
Thanks

 I received the same advice this morning from Nuono Vittorino of Innuos, so I went to BB and bought an Insignia USB hub. I installed it and immediately found lock and played for 3' before losing lock and jumping to the next track. Same thing for both choices of latency and with different cables.

Sorry to hear that. At this stage the only way forward seems to me to be people at Ayre. Good luck

I don't see how the Codex ( which works fine with USB from a PC and from the Zen mini) could cause the Zen server to skip tracks. At any rate, I am still in contact with Innuos (M. Vittorino) and I copy Ayre on the communications.
