Roon RAAT and "An audio file is loading slowly"

[Manfred]

While it may be an issue in the Devialet firmware/OS, I also am quite surprised that this got by Roon's QA testing.   They have always seemed extremely methodical when it came to allowing a product to be called "Roon Ready".   Hard to see how this one slipped past them since it's pretty obvious if you're running a gigabit network.

I am in my evaluation phase of roon. I had the same problem. Discussed it with the the roon support. I found a workaround to get it work:

I have now two switches in place. A TP-Link 8 Port SG108S switch where everything is connected excluding the Devialet. The TP-Link is then connected to a Linksys (configurable) switch via 1Gb Eth,. The Linksys switch is then connected to the Devialet.

All Ethernet Adapters in my network are Intel and all have enabled Auto Negotiation.

What works:

I configured the port of my Linksys switch connected to the Devialet in the following way:
Auto Negotiation=Disable
Port Speed = [b]100[/b]M
Flow Control = Enabled

What does not work:

i)
Auto Negotiation=Enable
Port Speed = [b]100[/b]M
Flow Control = Disabled

ii)
Auto Negotiation=Disable
Port Speed = [b]1000[/b]M
Flow Control = Enabled

The Devialet has a problem with Auto Negotiation (could work ->then it works and people have not the problem) and with 1 Gb Ethernet.
