Hi there,
So, I’m having a problem streaming hi-res audio via Qobuz on Audirvana on my macbook pro. It can handle CD quality streaming but anything higher and songs cut out repeatedly during playback. I’ve been streaming over wifi but I’ve also used a solid ethernet connection to see if that helps - and it doesn’t. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance. I will post the logfile separately below.

Do you have problems with the Muso, or the Muso QB?
Hi, it’s the Muso QB (first generation).
That’s a known issue with the QB first gen. Unfortunately, that’s a Muso issue, not an Audirvana issue.
The best thing you can do is limit the output sample rate to 24 kHz and 96 Bits and see how that goes. If the stuttering remain, limit it to CD quality.
In all fairness: the difference between CD quality and 24 bit quality on the QB is pretty hard to spot.
ah ok. The strange thing is that the QB seems to be able to handle hi-res audio when it’s connected via my iphone and Mconnect. The problem when using the phone is not pauses and buffering during playback - instead the connection between my phone and the QB just drops out entirely. Whereas on my macbook the connection is solid - but it can’t handle hi-res at all.
Thanks, I already tried those though
