Audirvana streaming

Hoping it is something minor. Earlier today I listened to music (Rock n Roll only) via my Dac and Cd transport, GREAT as usual. Then after an hour or so, I generally shift towards streaming, larger collection. I'm hoping Quboz or Audirvana had streaming issues. I stream via my Bricasti M1SE with network card. I had some songs load and play for 20 seconds and just stop, start again and then stop period, Songs would start and play for 30 seconds and then end; when the songs duration was 6 minutes????????  Don't laugh, but, I am always assured when playing The Eagles,  HOTEL California, or Victim Of Love (2 of my Favorites) for those 2 songs to most always stop after a few minutes and not run their full length. It always seem to be some issue. I have great WI-FI, and great Ethernet (hard wired too)  Don't know if there is a time of day thing ? (tooooo many users?)  Has anyone else had these issues or similar? Due to the fact that today was unusually horrific it has me thinking about going elsewhere for streaming, which I really don't want to. When Audirvana works it's great sounding. Don't know if another service requires you to download all your songs again, or my songs with Quboz would automatically be transferred to new service??? Bricasti mentions that they and Audirvana play well together. Thank all as usual. Robert TN

Thanks for all the suggestions. My wife closed out Qobuz a short time ago, and went to re open and found almost everything was lost/gone (songs) I'm not sure what she did, but, most of the songs started coming back, sort of a reboot of sorts. Many did not, spent hours going over songs lists and re introducing them to Quboz.  So we wont do that again. The idea of re booting Audirvana is a great idea, maybe that will work. We have a very strong internet here  at our home,in Cookeville, TN  and everything is hardwired Ethernet. Even the computer I use to stream  via  Audirvana is Ethernet hardwired. Don't have a tablet, to cheap. Computer acts as tablet.  In the present in my second system, I stream USB Qobuz via Meitner DAC (no outboard streamer) and Qobuz sounds great, with usually NO issues at all. However, In the main system, using the Bricasti and Audirvana there always seems to be issues! Thanks for your help, will try rebooting audirvana and see if that helps  Robert   Again Thank you!  hoping for a resolution.

sorry couldn’t resist. 
On a serious note…most likely culprit is Audirvana. You can also stream with Mconnect. I’ve done it with my Bricasti m3. Should work just fine without any interruptions. Mean time you can probably see if there is an update for Audirvana.

Did some Googling.  I think my issue is Qobuz related.  It either didn't recognize my subscription, or it was an album that was only available for sampling 30 seconds of each song.

going to try and reboot Audirvana today. Hoping that does the trick. Also noticed that Qobuz subscription ends in 4 days, have to address that, thanks for the reminder. Will get back to everyone soon with an update. Tks   Not sure how to perform shutting it down, and then reopening it. Will figure it out.

After a hellacious day yesterday, I am asking for help. Don't know how to be brief!!  To answer your previous questions, Music resides streaming from Qobuz. Computer a Windows 10 based, Ethernet  hardwired,  connected to Bricasti M1 SE DAC, and a USB cable also. My wife and I brought the computer in the house yesterday to access what was going on. We started the laptop up, nothing connected to it. All wi-fi. We opened up Qobus and it played perfectly, NO issues. We then opened Audirvana, and crossed our fingers and it played perfectly (WE WERE AMAZED, based on previous) No drop offs, shortened songs, etc. The previous listening was done at the dining room table, from the internal $.50 speakers on the laptop and its own DAC. Now feeling confident we took laptopt to my main listening area. Hooked it up via USB to DAC and Ethernet already plugged into the rear of Bricasti DAC with Network Card. Also, separately  Hardwired via Etherent (probably overkill) to laptop.
     We now went Via USB setting on DAC to listen to Qobuz and it played GREAT! No issues. We then opened Audirvana and changed DAC to its proper setting to stream Audirvana. None of the music loaded, I usually go to ALBUMS and then choose songs to play and listen to music. Audirvana opened , but NO Albums loaded. The screen was blank. My wife then started some trouble shooting. I think she went to settings. In between she got pop-ups,(several) they referenced Offline Mode, need to restart the application?  Another was     Audirvana_Studio.dmp, which also indicatedDMPfile(1.1MB)  Also stated what Firefox should do with this file, with a OK box and save file indicator, not sure what happened next.  SOMEHOW my wife managed to get ALL the ALBUMS I have downloaded to appear. I thought we were good to go, as this screen looked just like the one you would normally get when Audirvana opened, and was working properly. However, when a song was decided on, it would NOT PLAY,period. We were mystified, and heart broken. Hours were spent up until this point.     We asked ourselves how could this laptop hooked up to NOTHING earlier play both Qobus and Audirvana and now just Qobus, via USB and No audirvana streaming. Both subscriptions are fully paid. When it worked, Audirvana was well worth the extra money, my wife agreed. Now we are both exhausted, instead of enjoying ourselves arguing. We are at wits end. Please help us. We are both older and not real computer savvy. I hope we have given you enough information. Thanks, Robert and Sylvia Shaw
