I was hoping the latest software release would resolve my 192 kHz file streaming issue but no such luck.
I have pair of Gold phantom 1 running the latest software.
They are hardwired via Ethernet switch and I can play Hi Res up to 96 without any issues via UPnP.
When I try Qobuz 192 files I get a regular pause in the music every 40 to 70 seconds. The time counter keeps running and when the music cuts back in it is from the point it stopped and the counter goes back to the time the music stopped. So I am not losing any music it just cuts out then recommences after about 10 seconds.
Today I stumbled on something. If I pause the track at the start just before the music begins then press play then the track plays all the way through without interruption. If I do this at the start of each track I can play the whole album but if I do not pause before the next track then it will stop throughout the track every 40 to 70 seconds.
I can pause the track at any point and it will play to the end without interruption it doesn’t only behave if it’s done at the start of the track.
I don’t understand the concepts of streaming that well but it seems to me that the packets of music buffer in the Phantom DAC whilst paused then plays the entire track but when the next tack is lined up it loses the buffer so it reverts to stopping. Does that make sense or can someone suggest what is going on?
I tried to get Devialet to own this problem earlier in the year and they said to wait for the next software release but it obviously didn’t do anything.
I know it’s not the end of the world and I can just not select 192 rate files in Qobuz but it is annoying that this expensive equipment can’t handle rates that far cheaper solutions can.
