After the latest Spark update I suffered from drop-outs in streaming from both Qobuz and Tidal. It turned out that this coincided with a FW update of my Asus router due to security problem. After lots of configuration changes I could more or less iron out a stable hires streaming. So it is not always Devialet to blame and network or more precise internet streaming audio will remain a challenge as long as the entire chain can not be managed by one manufacturer. Streaming of local files always worked flawlessly, which brought me to try to find the problem outside of Phantom/Dialog/Spark. And indeed the problem came from a new router FW unluckily timed together with a Spark update.
