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?

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

sorry if I was unclear...I was referring to previous mentions of sound quality...I have no clue as to the problem you're having...

If using Roon where is your Roon database?  I had a similar problem and ended up moving to a dedicated music server from Small Green Computer (i5).  Prior to moving I was running Roon on my MacBook which was using Wi-Fi.  Now run Roon app on phone, MacBook, etc with the Roon database on the i5 which is hard wired to my network.  Also need a streamer which buffers.  I’ve found many companies selling DAC’s really don’t know / invest much in streamer cards solutions.   I moved to Bricasti.  High quality build with excellent streamer.  All residential internet services experience wait times, gaps, channel overloads and interrupts because of competing network connections.  Again look for a streamer company that understands networking and builds buffering into their solutions.
