Hello everyone,

 

I hope I am not hijacking anything here. I do not know of any forum where I can get some assistance of a configuration matter when connecting to Tidal.

 

I have JPlay running on my iPad and have configured TIDAL.

 

My system configuration has the following :

 

Minimserver on a linux pc

<<wired LAN to a SoTM SNH10G router,>>

<<wired LAN to SMS200>>

<<SMS200 to a txUSBultra>>

<<USB to DAC>>

Bricasti M1SE DAC

 

I have configured the SMS200 for MPD/DLNA.

 

My broadband connection is a 500Mb/40Mb link and speedtest shows speeds of 526Mbps/46Mbps and yet when I try to stream a 192kHz sampled file from TIDAL it stutters a lot. There is no problem with a 96khz sampled stream. 

 

The configuration in JPlay is for HTTPS streaming. I have tried various Packet sizes for the SMS200 in JPlay and none helped. I also turned on using a proxy for TIDAL which seems to help with 192khz sampling rate streaming but it always takes many seconds (sometime more than a minute) before any track or album gets played. This is unacceptable of course. There does not appear to be any other parameters that I can play around with on JPlay or the versions of SoTM's app with MPD/DLNA.

 

I have kept my version of JPlay up to date. The software versions in the SMS200 are -

MPD version 0.24.4-211

UPMPDCLI version 1.9.6-210

 

In case it might help, I have attached the system config screen for the SoTM.

 

I hope someone has come across this problem before and has worked out a way around it. I would appreciate some pointers.

I suspect the buffer settings in MPD are too low. 


JPLAY for iOS: the new reference hi-fi app.
