dropout streaming


I have noticed very brief dropout of musical notes streaming certain songs on Qobuz.  It is often, but not always, at the same spot in a song.  Makes me think it is Qobuz itself, but it could be the internet itself.  anyone else have this issue.  thoughts?

There are settings in Qobuz you can adjust if you’re getting dropouts.  Can’t remember what they are but definitely worth looking into.  And I disagree with everything @czarivey said regarding Qobuz and think he’s in the extreme minority here in his opinion — he can’t even spell it correctly.

It's almost certainly a network issue or a suboptimal configuration of Qobuz. In streaming, good networking conquers all.

SO, the problem is ONLY with this particular DAC; when I switch back to my Benchmark, it does not occur....I dont want to say anything negative about the DAC brand, as so far the owner of the company has been responsive and I am sure it will  be addressed adequately...I have no clue how to explain why the  dropout only happens with certain  tracks, or why, on those tracks, it recurs in the  same places.....

 

I'm new to Qobuz,  but spelling aside, have read on many sites that many users seem to think that Qobuz at it's best is the best streaming, but that their quality is quite inconsistent...long time Tidal user , but now signed up for a year of Roon and Qobuz in addition so I can it figure out ...

@jl35 , well, I have never had a complaint during my experience with Qobuz, and Im 99.99% certain my current problem is NOT Qobuz
