My suggestion is that you try listening to Tidal without running it through JRiver via WDM. I looked on the JRiver forum to see if I could find the thread that was discussing this issue, but can't find it at the moment. People are having similar problems, and I suspect that driver is doing loopback and that's what's causing your problem. Interesting that I do not get these issues with the I phone or iPad apps using my home wifi.ĭo you get the same skips and drop-outs at the beginning of a song when NOT listening through JRiver? The reason I ask is that I remember reading about some issues with the WDM driver (which just came out a couple weeks ago). I am using the Tidal Windows player through The JRiver 20 driver. I have a pretty decent internet speed of 25mbps. I too regularly get the pop up warning about low bandwith. I’ve never tried a streamer before so maybe I’m missing something.I too have been having problems with little skips and drop outs usually at the beginning of each song. Perhaps just using my current MacBook Pro for this makes even more sense (would there be a difference?). Connect that to the Dac / amp I already have. This new Mac M1 is supposed to run very efficiently so I’m thinking instead of plunking $$$ down on something like the Matrix audio mini pro 3, just get a base Mac M1 mini. I like the flexibility of having an OS that will run whatever I want be it Spotify, Tidal, whatever comes out down the road, plus my own files. It seems so convoluted and needlessly expensive. Then on top of that having to pay a middleman like Roon to bridge streaming services so they work on said streamer.
I’m not keen on shelling out on a streamer that won’t be directly compatible with my streaming services. I know some will suggest buying a dedicated streamer and use a program like Roon to manage things. Not sure I notice any difference in sound quality but have yet to hear any interruptions. Just for science, I connected my 2018 MacBook Pro. So I’m currently using a Windows 10 gaming pc with my setup and have noticed some rare gaps in audio while streaming Tidal. They say that graphics cards, noisy fans and PSU’s will interfere with my audio stream.
So I’ve noticed quite a few people mention that using a regular computer is not optimal for playing back audio.
