Playback stops, pauses then continues

This happens to me when transitioning from one khz to a different one in a playlist.  For instance the track playing is an 88khz track and the next one is 44.1 or 48khz track.  MC gets stuck for a few seconds trying to figure out the transitional change.  Happens with 5 seconds or so to go in the song.  Now this is a Windows setup, not Linux, but may be the same.

Have tried numerous changes to no avail.  MC just can't handle it smoothly.  See if it's the same situation with you.

Sounds like bandwidth or horsepower, you didn't say what your playback machine and media file setup is. Up-sampling does nothing for sound quality, and can cause playback issues.

I occasionally get something similar on my RPi4, usually when listening to RP flac around 10 seconds prior to next track loading, but live with it. I have 200 meg internet and all wired gigabit network.

I let my DAC (Focusrite 6i6) natively decode, so no bit conversion.

All WAV 44.1Khz 16bit ripped from CD. Computer: Foxconn NanoPC i7. DAC: RME AD2 Black Edition. PLayback set for 44.1with no conversions. When it was set for 88.2 I had the pause problem.

What is the connection between computer and DAC?

Where are the files stored?  Local drive?

DAC is USB and files are on network drive.
