Digital Sputter or Stutter?


I recently got into streaming, buying the NAD CS1 and hooking it up to my desktop sound system (Rotel RA-870 integrated/Parasound Zdac/ NHT Super Zeros) via the LAN connection.I subscribe to Tidal and was just learning some streaming basics when out of nowhere, what I would call digital sputtering/stuttering is being produced for some reason at the end of a music track. The one thing I noticed that seemed to be concurrent with this blasted noise was that the streaming quality indicator reads 'LOW' when using the CS1, but 'HIGH' when streaming on my phone. I suspect this has something to do with the LAN connection, but maybe it could be some other gremlin?

Practice makes perfect.

10K hours should do it.

When you uncover any solutions, take note or you might repeat wrong pathways.

This is something you will at some point conquer.  Unlike a complicated turntable setup that you need expert help with.

Yeah - I just need to get some real-time experience under my belt (like the 53 years I've had with analog and digital (CD) equipment.
