Streaming dropouts

[HIGHWAY61]

Same here, been using Qobuz for many years, virtually 100% efficient. I have heard that often these problems are due to the geographical position of your house/office. You can have the best internet speeds in the world but if the local caballing/infrastructure in your area is no good you are going to have problems. Think the most expensive new IPhone possible, might have cost you nearly £2,000, try and use it in Northern Scotland, same issue. Its not the phones fault its the signal.

When songcasting from Klimax system (Exakt kdsm, Katalyst 350A’s) to secondary system (renew, solos or Majik DSM/ solos) I frequently get audio dropouts. I still have the Kinsky app on iPhone and when the dropouts occur I see a spinning propeller in track progress circle which I was told means it’s buffering. When I contacted Linn support they said it may be a problem with my network or router. I am streaming Flac files from a new Synology NAS. The router is a few years old Netgear (Nighthawk R7000 AC 1900) hardwired to a couple of unmanaged gigabit switches. The Ethernet cables are a mix of cat 5 (in walls) cat 5e and cat 6. My dealer said it can’t be the Ethernet cables. I first noticed dropouts when Songcasting high res 192-24 from Klimax system to secondary system. It does occur with cd res as well and sometimes when songcasting from secondary system to klimax system. On occasion either system can vanish from Linn app home. Last time that happened even though the Klimax room wasn’t visible on Linn app and I couldn’t control it, I could start and stop the song with the remote, and the song showed on the display of the Klimax.
I suspect I’m not the only one to have encountered this problem. Has anyone had similar experience and I would greatly appreciate ides and guidance.
I guess it’s also possible the house is possessed..
