Switching to an Ethernet connection solved the same problem for me. I also use a NODE 2i streamer. It runs into a Qutest DAC, Prima Luna 400 preamp and VTL 150 amp. The problems existed whether I utilized Qobuz, Tidal or any other service on the NODE 2i wirelessly. The Ethernet connection immediately solved the problem. Seems the NODE 2i needs an excellent Wi-Fi connection to perform as expected. The NODE 2i also experienced interference from an adjoining wireless SONOS system that seemed hog the available Wi-Fi bandwidth; so, that issue also cleared up with the Eathernet connection.
Streaming Qobuz via iPad
I have the Qobuz app on my iPad and I stream to my Marantz streamer into my Bifrost 2 DAC. The thing is the streaming is twitchy or even drops out for a second or two before continuing on. By twitchy I mean I get these hangups in the music accompanied by pops.
what could be causing this? Is this an iPad issue or bandwidth issue? Also, just to confirm, is the iPad just acting as a remote control and the Wi-Fi music signal is coming from the Wi-Fi router? Sorry not really technically proficient in computer.
