Qobuz Skipping or Short Pauses

@edcyn I had an issue with ‘Dark side of the moon’ on Qobuz through my Auralic app, it wasn’t all gapless, but the Tidal version through the Auralic app was playing gapless. I’ve never had this issue before and the last issue with Qobuz (different issue), was a change Qobuz had made that all app providers had to provide a fix for. See if you can connect Qobuz over Bluetooth and play it like that to see if it’s gapless or not, that will narrow down whether you need to write to Qobuz or Bluesound. This advice goes for @yogi42 to find out if it’s the Node or Qobuz. 
 

@fuzztone I run wifi to my Auralic streamer, they’re built to use wifi and I’ve never had an issue in months of constant use. Any review of the product talks about the wifi performance matching the wired performance, it would seem there are reasons to use wifi for a streamer sometimes. 

My streamer was recommended to be hardwired to the router.  It rarely has unwanted gaps or problems with Qobuz.

I have the same problem and it occurs in multiple locations with different providers and hardware suites.  It is rare and intermittent, and seems to be on the server side.  

If none of the above works then router? If possible ditch Wi-Fi. Additionally at times all internet connections hiccup. Is your power 100%?

I’m in a black hole for internet reception and finally got Starlink. It’s software shows all the things using the internet, some hard wired and some Wi-Fi. Eighteen is the tally!

I also use Qoboz and last night it stuttered and skipped back a few tracks. A first after two plus years.

I had the same problem with my Node(latest version) as well but with Tidal MQA tracks.  It was almost as if a switch was being turned off and on every other second.  Non MQA was no issue.  I’m using USB out to an external DAC.  I was already an Amazon HD user and just trying out Tidal temporarily.  I’m sure there was a simple fix but being the impatient old guy that I am I opted for canceling my Tidal subscription.  I also had the Node 2i and could never get a higher sample rate than 44.1 using WiFi.  Once I connected Ethernet directly to either old or new Node, I started getting the higher sample rates.  Sorry I don’t have a solution for you..but I do have empathy
