Sorry, but this is a deal breaker for me…
As I play lots of DJ Mixes - the tracks need to be seamless and not stop between each track - Is there a way of having continuos/seamless playback ?
Even a little stop between the tracks spoiler the whole flow of the mix
I have already rejected 2 music play systems due to them not having this feature
Its local from my DAS - I have not ed however , if I let the whole track play the next one is buffered - but it won’t work if it’s started half way
Sorry to keep asking the questions - But I do like what I see, will probably subscribe , but I can’t do Roon too , and that won’t renew until January…so I will make a note in my Diary
You pasted a debug report in your other post… We need to see what your configuration is at this point… Also take @ChiliHot 's advice and reduce the playback pre-load memory allocation… In your previous debug info, you were allocating 62GB of you available 64GB System RAM for pre-load memory… macOS Sonoma is a memory hog… the more System RAM available for system operations the better…
If the tracks are contiguous files of ‘X’ length they should play as any other song file… Apparently there are transitional zero-crossing gaps that were mixed into these files…
SPDIF is connected directly to the Mac Studio via USB C - NOT via a hub
( I have to say it does sound really good )
I do have large collection of music , and AV is still " Syncing " so assuming this is a one off process ( which then drops to monitoring ) it may speed things up as the HD is going mad at the moment !
