dropout streaming

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.

Sounds like you may have gotten a bad unit. Does it happen with the other digital inputs as well on the problem DAC (if there are multiple)?

The manufacturer seems to be exploring the possibility that my streamer has too

much jitter, but I am skeptical. I don’t get dropout on my other DAC. I will try another streamer soon .  I don’t get dropout when I use it as DAC for CD playback
