It's a dedicated Mac mini running only itunes, audirvana and now Air.
The same setup drives a chord Hugo usb and has never missed a beat. Not in five months of playing. Ever.
The only time I've ever experienced this is since buying the Devialet. So my hunch is there's actually a fault with the Devialet. Sadly, Devialet support are being completely and utterly useless.
Hi Hifi_swlon
I also use a dedicated Mac Mini for my files but use Roon for file management. I feed the Devialet via Ethernet. Never had any issues and prior to Roon, I was feeding the LINN Majik and using it's app for file management, feeding the Devialet via coax originally, again, not an pop, crackle or hiss.
I would be pissed if I had your challenges for sure!
I listen to specific internet radio like Radio Paradise and I lose all the value of the RP UI channeling it through Roon. I hope to be able to access RP, (or other Internet radio stations directly once the Devialet board gains some maturity!
Cheers
Bob
