Agree with Audphile1, I can pull the ether cable out of my N200 and it plays for a while. All music is buffered to SSD. I think it's a bad USB cable.
Diagnosing a streaming failure
I have an VERY intermittent streaming failure, let’s say once a month, if that, with daily playing. I have a LAN connected Aurender N150 connected via Cardas Clear USB to my Qutest DAC playing Qobuz.
The failure occurs only at the start, no sound, conductor shows streaming. A couple times rebooting N150 & Qutest works… 2 times (including this afternoon), rebooting doesn’t work and swapping USB cables gets it working again.
So bad USB cable… not necessarily as putting the Cardas back, still works.
When failure occurs, my CD player always works (connected via coax BNC) to my Qutest. So that eliminates everything in my mind but the N150 and the USB portion of my Qutest.
My N150 only has USB out, so can’t check other outputs. I used to think it was an Qutest issue, but now not sure as a couple of times recently the Aurender skipped songs.
Thoughts?Any diagnostic recommendations would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

@mswale @sholladay Great advice. Although it appears to not be the problem based upon the Aurender buffers. I have the Stack Audio LAN silencer before my Aurender. Supposed to throttle back speeds to 100mbps. Will be interesting to measure that also. Thanks |
@audphile1 @ghdprentice The problem occurred prior to adding the silencer. I can remove it, but it has nothing to do with the current problem. It did throttle back the speed, and improved the ping. |
