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 to all. I wish i had good news to report. I read all your responses and suggestions, and appreciated your time, My wife and I uninstalled Audirvana, and then reinstalled same. No issues on either end. However, Would load the music and show icons of albums just as expected. Then hit play a particular song and the timer would start, but, no sound. My wife who is more schooled in computer things than I, explored all sound settings in Audirvana and within all computer settings. Tried just Quboz via USB, played perfectly and sounded great as usual. Must be a glitch somewhere, so close, you know the rest.   I bought my Bricasti from Verdant Audio in NJ. I called him yesterday, and he was so helpful or tried to be( for over an HOUR)  It was so nice to speak to a human (caring one) for the interaction. He suggested what most of you did. I would love to stay with Audirvana for the sound,but, with NO human interaction to fix my issue I cannot, what a shame. I know it would cost more money for an 800 number, but they are going to lose a subscriber, maybe they don't care? (CUSTOMER SERVICE IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME) I don't know? Roon may be my next experiment, Or may just stream Qobuz/USB with my rock and roll. A waste of a Network card though!!!!  A simple walk through on the phone with a dedicated tech, would most likely solve the problem. Again thanks to all who took their time to help. Robert TN

Hi All - I'm new to much of this and you guys are quite informed. My problem is that about one-fifth of the songs or albums that seek to play, simply don't play. What I mean is that the album appears loaded and the seconds tick by, but no sound.

The Qobuz settings are on CD quality. Any thoughts?

Thanks

BTW, my streamer and dac respectively are Innuos Zen-mini and Boarder Control.  But I don't suspect that is the problem because 4/5th of the music I seek to play does play fine and it doesn't matter what the quality of the source music is.

 

This may or may not help. Was having many issues with audirvana, many similar to yours. It took almost 2 months of back and forth with Audirvana. (need  customer service HUMAN)  As my wife and I were integrating a new set of speakers into the system (obviously streaming circumstances) my wife noticed that the speakers were prefaced in print in an area where the Bricasti M1 DAC was supposed to be listed. We never picked up it as the newly listed speakers were finally listed as correct type, we figured it was OK. As soon as my wife typed in M1 in the appropriate box in the settings page of audirvana, the LAN setting on the Bricasti DAC set as indicated, viola, MUSIC started playing from my playlist. It has worked perfectly ever since. Granted a few interruptions now and again(but that's streaming for you, to be accepted)  Overall back to beautiful music. Certainly hopes this helps. Best of luck.
