hi all, i am new here. Great forum and support here. I have recently installed Moode on Raspberry Pi 4b and I am loving it! I am using Moode purely as a network player/bridge into my built in dac on my integrated amplifier via the usb interface. The source of music are flac files stored on local nas, spotify and amazon music. I am using airplay and spotify renderer on moode as well. My integrated amplifier is mcintosh ma5200
The problem I have is when I skip tracks frequently, probably like once every 10 seconds, the dac on the amp freezes up. This behaviour is observed with all source - nas/spotify/amazon music. And the same when I use spotify, airplay renderer and mpd. It seems like there is a buffer overflow on the dac itself. When I restart the dac, it starts functioning again. I look through the guide from mcintosh intended for jriver user and they seem to recommend a 6 second pre buffer. I am not sure if this is the issue but only a suspicion. I look forward to recommendations and advises. Not technically savvy but happy to pull out logs if it helps
