Does anyone have a digital system that is as involving as their analogue front end?

I am using Jplay with Qobuz. I had an issue with my Moon stopping for a few seconds from time to time, but it was fare more rare than with the Meitner. Also, when the Moon recovered, it continued on the same track rather than jumping to the next track. I think that the Meitner might demand more of the network and that rebooting is a good idea. We have had some trouble with the network slowing. So, I'll work on that first and see what happens. I have heard that the Meitner's buffer can be enlarged, but it sounds like a difficult process. Rebooting the network sounds a lot easier. Thank you for your input.

Reboot the network. 
what you’re describing is two different ways to handle the same problem between jplay and moon. 
jplay tells the streamer what file to go get from qobuz. When it loses connection and is out of buffer it skips to next track. Not Meitner fault. Just how it’s handled by jplay. 

moon probably retries and has different buffer capabilities. I wouldn’t worry about it. Just make certain your network is up to the task.

We have two different network names and the one Jplay was on is a weaker network. I changed it to the stronger network and rebooted the network. Hopefully that will take care of it. Thanks.

@audio-b-dog , sounds like you may have solved your problem by making sure the Meitner and JPlay are all on the stronger network, and I don’t know your network topology (obviously), but let me ask if you have an extender (as opposed to a full Access Point/Mesh unit) in your network?  

I was having similar problems with TIDAL and Qobuz (via Roon) to what you report and after much trial and error and tech help from Innuos, Roon and BlueSound, it seems that my problem was being caused by a WiFi extender unit (WiFi 6) where all my WiFi Access Points are WiFi 7 (all components in the network are Ubiquiti). I was told that extender units are known for causing problems with data transmission and renderer connectivity (in your case the Meitner). So, if you have an extender you might want to replace it with a real AP/mesh component of the same generation as your WiFi router.  (I replaced my WiFi 6 extender with a WiFi 7 AP and all the problems went away. 

(BTW, It turns out the extender was also causing the problem that i posted about a week or so ago about my Innuos Stream1 not being discoverable on my iPad via the Sense app or directly via its IP address, even though my iPhone never had any issue discovering and controlling the Stream1.)

I have it plugged into a mesh component. The other mesh component across the room is connected to ATT fiber. We have an old wifi name from before we put in fiber. We found out that the ATT fiber offered another wifi name which seems to be stronger than our old name. I rebooted the network but now the Meitner is not connected to the iPad. I had this happen with my Moon and had to call Moon. Everything has to be turned off and then on in a certain order. I haven’t found that order yet, so Jplay is not connected to the Meitner. I’ll try again tomorrow when I have a fresh brain. I even deleted Jplay and reloaded it. Later I’ll try asking chatgpt. Sometimes it actually knows and other times it just gives me BS. I’m playing a CD through the Meitner now. When it gets going, I think that putting the iPad on ATT’s wifi name might very probably fix the problem. Thanks for your input.
