Playback for high resolution (e.g. 192 kHz) audio files stutters

(1/2) > >>

MisterC:
My JRiver22 MC plays back anything beautifully except high resolution music files.  For example playing back a FLAC 192 kHz file, the audio stutters badly.  Watching the time elapsed playing this track, it will play for a few seconds then jump back a few seconds etc.  You never get a smooth continuous play.  Sometimes you will get a flow of 5 seconds play (great) then it reverts back to the stuttering. No error messages are generated at all.  What can be the problem?

JimH:
We need to know more details about your setup.

The gaps could be network or CPU related.  MC has no trouble playing those files.

MisterC:
I have Windows10 PC with a NAS Western Digital drive (where the music is stored), with a Trinnov Amethyst DSP as music renderer.  Not sure what more I need to tell you.

JimH:
Here's the Trinnov Amethyst:

It looks like it has WiFi.  Is that how you're connecting to it?

The NAS drive also uses a network connection.

The way to find the problem is to try other connections.  For example, try transferring a file to your Windows machine and playing it from there.  Or try playing to a directly connected device (any).

MisterC:
I am not using any WiFi connection to the Amethyst ... yes it can do that, but I am smart wired in my home throughout, so it is all ethernet cabled.
