I presume the gaps caused by changing resolution appear at the start of tracks?
The gaps that I experienced all occurred in the middle of tracks and I think only when the USB HDD was connected to the lower USB output. This may have been coincidence but after the problem appeared I tried both ports and the problem only occurred on the lower port. The music also stopped completely a couple of times during playback after music had been playing for some time on the upper port - very annoying. Aurender support were responsive but couldn't come up with an explanation for the gaps. (I have Netgear gigabit switches but as I was using USB assume this is not relevant)
The gaps my dealer and another customer experienced happened when streaming DSD files from Synology NASs and were fixed, in my dealers case at least, by his changing from a Netgear 10/100 switch to a TP-Link gigabit switch (following a recommendation from Aurender). This seems odd to me as 10/100 should be plenty fast enough?
I was told that Aurender had introduced the N100H model because so many people had had problems setting up their NASs and AMM to work with the N100.
I thought the internal SSD is present to avoid just that, hick-ups during playing. That would mean music from a USB drive isn't buffered to the SSD. Could the hard-drive have been spun down in sleep mode?
I only have a few DSD files, but I've not had gaps in playback with any of them either. Also streamed from a Synology NAS, I do however have a gigabit Ethernet. Again weird that a DSD file apparently is not buffered on the SSD.
I really never had problems with using AMM. I think it's pretty straight forward. I did contact Aurender Support to ask about some files which generate a fail. Support told me there will be a better fault log in the future.
