Amazing that the string octet was composed by Mendelssohn when he was just 16 years old. I’ve listened using jplay Qobuz 24/96 and no dropouts. Went thru track 3 and played track 4.I really like this. Thanks to your Qobuz dropouts I added a new album to my favorites.
Does anyone have a digital system that is as involving as their analogue front end?
I have a good analogue front end. Not stratuspherically good but good enough for this comparison. VPI Prime Signature 21 turntable, Pass Labs XP-25 pono preamp, Pass Labs XP-30 preamp and Hovland Radia amp. It has a lovely, very involving sound. On the right recording, I just drop everythng and am drawn in to listen.
My streamer, on the other hand, is decent but not spectacular. It is better than my CD player, but it is not jaw-dropping like my analogue front-end. My question is this: does anyone have a high-end, tier-one streamer (dCS Bartok Apex, Lumin X2, or something like them) that can rival a good analogue system?

Yes, I forgot about this strategy. Going to have to try this again. I had it done previously but the ISP updated my hardware to the latest wifi 7 stuff a while back. However I just googled Google DNS (:) ) and it said it would have no effect on dropouts, just faster connection times, but I might as well give it a go again, as I am also still experiencing tracks quitting half way through and I assumed it was still a Qobuz issue: Switching to Google DNS will not fix physical signal dropouts, but it can resolve web connection errors or delays specifically caused by DNS server failures. DNS (Domain Name System) acts as the phonebook of the internet, translating web addresses like google.com into numerical IP addresses. [1, 2, 3, 4]
When it Helps If your modem is connected, but pages fail to load or throw "Server Not Found" errors, your ISP’s DNS servers may be failing or overloaded. Switching to Google DNS (Primary:
When it Doesn’t Help If your physical internet drops out (e.g., your router loses sync, Wi-Fi disconnects, or download speeds crash), changing your DNS will make no difference. These issues indicate a hardware fault, cabling issue, or an outage in your local area. [1, 2, 3, 4]
How to Change Your DNS If you want to test it to see if it improves your browsing stability, you can change the settings on your devices or router: [1, 2, 3]

@mclinnguy I’ve resolved the dropouts one if my friends was experiencing with streaming TV programs using google mesh with optimum tv as isp. Changed the dns to google 8.8.8.8 and problem is gone. 3 weeks not a single issue. Not saying it’s a solution for every problem but it can potentially help. I would just do away with tp link deco as a first step. |
Sounds good @audio-b-dog just keep an open mind… AT&T fiber comes into your house and into the router/hub they provided, correct? from that hub, you connected your TP Link Deco using Ethernet cable. That’s your gateway mesh node. It now broadcasts wifi to other mesh nodes. If you places your tp link nodes around the house, you should be able to test your wifi speed using something like ookla app on your phone or even just by typing speed test into google search. If you stand next to the mesh node that feeds the Meitner, what speed do you get on wifi? |
