Hi I’m enjoying playing music using my Acrylic S50 (Living room) and the Up2Stream Pro (Den) , but am experiencing regular audio break up, normally occurs at the end of a track . Happens with Amazon music, Tidal, Qobuzz and most surprisingly with music from my Seagate Discstation. This does not happen with my Bose SoundTouch speaker, am I expecting to much from an inexpensive player? All streamers are hardwired 1Gb switch .Anyone else experience this and can offer a solution? PLEASE HELP! It’s starting to get to me!

I’m dealing with that same issue too. Anyone figure out a fix for it yet??
same issue here. I found a similar thread some time ago. spotify connect pause problems .
When connected over WiFi the problem is less pronounced here but when connected over wire it’s an disaster.
Just wanted to add myself to the list of people with this issue. I make and sell equipment using these boards, Up2Stream V4 usually, and I’ve noticed that as soon as there’s more than 4 devices playing, the stability of the system really goes out the window. I’ve invested in better wifi for my shop thinking that would be it, but nope. Tested out at a different location as well, same results.
2 or 3 devices, great, but add more and it’ll start stuttering intermittently. I wonder if there’s a way to add more buffering time to whichever unit is configured up as a server (i.e. ‘the master’). Sonos doesn’t have this problem, even in terrible wifi situations and it very well may be due to the ability to set a buffer for up to 2000ms.
I also have a problem with dropouts and stuttering. I see many posts talking about this but the solution is never given. Is this an unsolvable problem?
Hi everyone. I also experimented the same problem. I am sharing a possible solution. My setup is a S10 connected to a 5/2.4 GHZ router and I am a Qobuz customer. Connecting it to the LAN made no difference as mentioned before. The netwok deals normally with 4k movies without a problem so bandwith was not the culprit.
What I did was was the following: Normally a connect all the devices to the router with a 5/2.4 GHz network and the router decides which one to use with each device (the Arylic uses the 2.4 as we all know). What I did was to make the S10 to connect to a different network that uses 2,4Mhz exclusively, and I found that most of the problems have disappeared.
ok, We know that all setups are different, as there are different devices. Also, in the past minor changes have improved the situation but only temporarily and the issues reappear after a while, but I thought that it was worth sharing it with you.
Also, I hope that my English was good enough!
Regards and good luck.
You can try some downloader, like ViWizard Tidal Music Converter, and some online tools like Chrome Audio Capture, also save music on high quality.
Thanks for the sharing, I guess the reason of stuttering is some other device is working in the same channel with A31, so the network performance will be dramatically low because of the interference. Normally the router will arrange different channel for each device, but maybe it is more complicated to be ideal.
So this solution is a great, to use 5G band as much as possible because it has more bandwidth and channels.
As for me, I am an Apple Music user. Sometimes I see the Apple Music app not working, or not playing. So, I searched for solutions on the internet.
And I found an alternative way. That’s to download Apple Music as local files for playing without the Apple Music app.
To make it, I tried the AudFree Apple Music Converter and it works well.
Now, I can listen to Apple Music without any issues.
