Roon supports Devialet AIR

[baddog]

I am having occasional drop outs.

My network is all wired with CAT6 UTP running 1Gbps.

Server is Macmini with internal 500GB SSD, music is in 4TB external Thunderbolt and USB drives.

Any advice on the best way to tune and optimize the network?

So assuming Roon isn't importing music or doing audio analysis in the background, and given you are connected via ethernet, I would suggest, if you have not done so already, that you give the Mac Mini and Devialet fixed (static) IP addresses. I don't really think that will make a difference but you never know.

Are the drop outs random or related to any particular type of music being played? Meaning high res, DSD, et al, not country, folk, polka, etc...

Also as someone mentioned you can try tuning the buffer size. Mine is low at 50ms but I am not having any issues, wired with ethernet.
