So I got a ethernet cable that isn't 5+ years old and wanted to give the LAN input some more runs. The LAN input works fine when I use HQPlayer in Roon, but if I try to convert to DSD only using Roon or Audirvana they crap the bed. Audirvana just hangs until I swap inputs on the A26.
Also when using HQPlayer with LAN I have no problems streaming DSD512, but on Audirvana the upsampling will only do 192pcm on LAN or DSD128. Is there something I need to configure with the LAN input? I would imagine not since its flawless on HQPlayer. For what its worth Im just running the LAN input off a normal router. PCM seems to work on Roon/Audirvana just fine on LAN, its only when using them to convert to DSD without HQPlayer that it hangs.
EDIT: Fixed the issue with Roon converting to DSD on its own. Also I fixed my stuttering on LAN/HQplayer by turning off CUDA offload in HQPlayer.
EDIT 2: Unfortunately the HQPlayer/Lan dropouts came back even with Cuda offload disabled. This time I replaced the ethernet cable going from the router to the PC. Originally was a very long and slightly kinked cat6 cable, replaced it with a shorter 10ft cat7 cable and seems to be stable again. Even with cuda offload turned on.
