Sonore Streamers

[AllenB]

This first started happening when I was using HQ Player via NAA on a MacMini, and again with a RPi2. I am waiting delivery of a µRendu, but it seems the same happens with this unit. The common denominator seems to be Devialet USB and how that is handled either when inputs are switched, or if the Dev goes into stand-by mode. Life is too short to try and work through all the possible permutations, but the issue does seem to point at Devialet implementation of the USB input. I do wonder if this input should be kept 'live' when the Dev is standing by, it apparently goes dead. Units that work via Linux do not seem to be able to deal with this.

Roon must do something clever, or perhaps as simple as polling the connection, so it will 're-make' even after the Dev's input has been switched or it has come out of stand by.

Presumably, Dev could resolve this with a firmware fix, but I just feel the issue would fall on deaf ears. I think, perhaps rightly, Sonore & HQP and to a certain extent Roon, all point a finger at Devialet to sort out the USB implementation.

Sonore's advice is to not use stand-by mode, but I am not to keen to have the Dev running 24/7, or do others feel this is not a problem?

I have used my D-Premier, now a 250, running 24/7 since I purchased it in 2012. I installed 9.0.1 in April and have tried sleep and stand-by, but decided to keep the amp on all the time for best sound (apart from when I travel of course). Note that I have the amp wall mounted. I think this helps with cooling.

Thanks ogs, that's very re-assuring. I came from Naim where it was the recommendation to keep everything switched on 24/7. As we all know the Devs run fairly warm, but i guess it would do no harm to keep it on all the time.
