24/96 FLAC files only start intermittently

JimH:
It's easy to try MC15.  I don't remember all the details, but we did some work that fixed problems with some of the HDTracks files you're using.

MC15 is generally very stable.  Read the thread that announces the build first before downloading.

Pjotr:
Yes it appears so. Playing from memory seems also more streamlined in MC15. But still MC first reads in the whole track then before it starts playing and this can take a while, especially when playing over a network.

JimH:
Maybe you could try it without playing from memory.  Or upgrade the network.  I like powerline networking over wireless.

Really? That are the worst radio noise generators at the moment. No one complies with the European EMC directives. The mains isn’t a neat balanced line as Cat cable is. Been there done that.

I am using 100Mbit wired at the moment ;D 24/96 large audio files simply take a while. IMHO it is not necessary to wait for the complete file to start playing. Once playing it works a lot better than MC14 but when switching tracks: Same waiting……….

JimH:
Cat 5 or 6 should always be better than Powerline.

As you probably know, 100Mbit network will only deliver around half of that, or around 5MB per second.  If you have a mix of network devices, it's also possible that something is not delivering 100Mb.

Gigabit?
