Re: the Roon RAAT/gigabit ethernet/hi-res music bug....
Just updated to 13.2.0 / 2.2.6. Swapped back to gigabit ethernet and started an 8 minute 96kHz/24Bit track playing. It played perfectly for nearly 7 minutes and then hit a 20 second dropout. The next song had a 9 second dropout just a minute in. In both cases, Roon continued to show the song playing during the dropout. If Roon continues to show the music playing, it would seem that Roon is unaware of the music no longer playing, so likely still a Devialet problem. If/when I get a chance, I'll take a peak at the Roon logs just to see if I see anything obvious.
So, while it's great that the 'audio files loading slowly...' error seem to have been eliminated, dropouts of any sort are still unacceptable. I'll likely switch back to my 10/100 mbps switch which worked perfectly.
For those that are reporting that they are no longer seeing this problem since the update - can you confirm that you're using gigabit ethernet and streaming hi-res 24 bit music? For me in the past, it was always worst when streaming 192kHz, 24Bit music.
Bottom line - it's great to see Devialet re-engaging with the Expert Pro series and I really look forward to giving their Sweet Room a try. That was an unexpected surprise.
