Question for developers. Could you add a parameter control for Gapless Playback so that it can be enabled or disabled. It seems to me that the problem is the incorrect display of the track being played in this parameter.

Antoine · March 11, 2022, 7:46am

Hello @fightality,

Do you have this issue only when you try to play Tidal tracks in Audirvāna Studio?

fightality · March 11, 2022, 8:44am

Where else can I test it? Recommend player for macos please

Antoine · March 11, 2022, 8:45am

I mean if you try to play track that are in your local library in Audirvāna Studio, do you still have this issue or not?

fightality · March 11, 2022, 8:51am

Yes with local library I have the same issues

I also have UpNP Album Player Renderer and there is Gapless Playback checkbox setting
When I turn this off, the tracks stop freezing and switch to the next tracks.

Antoine · March 11, 2022, 9:08am

The gapless in Audirvāna Studio is grabbed by the device, if you go to 192.168.2.8, are you able to change it’s gapless settings?

fightality · March 11, 2022, 9:18am

These are my DAC streamer settings. There is no setting option for UPNP (MPD). In this output option, I have a problem with the track stopping at the end of playback

If I switch to UPNP (APlayer), then there are a lot of settings and I can fix the problem with switching tracks. But there are other problems - the tracks stop playing after 2-3-4 tracks.

Antoine · March 11, 2022, 9:21am

Do you have a buffer option if you select Aplayer?

fightality · March 11, 2022, 9:24am

I think so

Antoine · March 11, 2022, 9:26am

Have you tried to change the playback mode to Standard and change the preload buffer to the maximum value?

fightality · March 11, 2022, 9:29am

Yes I tried to play with each of Playback mode but Buffer settings did not change
Will try

fightality · March 11, 2022, 9:31am

But the problem is that I want to use MPD option where all these settings are not there. I think this option has a cleaner and more truthful sound (bit-perfect). I don’t want to mess with the audio settings in any way.

Antoine · March 11, 2022, 9:32am

I understand that, when you posted your debug info, it was what you have selected in your device settings?

fightality · March 11, 2022, 9:36am

Yes, this debug with the UPNP MPD option enabled

Antoine · March 11, 2022, 9:38am

If you look here, you will see that the device report being able to do gapless. Based on what you report it seems that what it reports and the reality are different. Are you able to contact your device manufacturer about it?

fightality · March 11, 2022, 9:50am

No, I can’t, it’s a DIY device - NOS DAC

Perhaps the problem is not in Gapless playback.

I’m currently listening to the third track at these settings (I increased the buffer size a little) and turned ON the Gapless mode in UPNP APlayer output option

and so far everything is going without problems.
