Some songs are skipping

[RedJeep2023]

192kHz songs skipping... Streaming Qobuz (optical) from my AnthemAV Receiver to my Pro. It seems 24bit 192kHz songs are skipping. Any idea whats up?

I’m confused - do you mean you’re playing Qobuz on your receiver and feeding that to the Pro’s optical input, and from there to where? Or do you mean the other way round I.e. you’re playing Qobuz using the WIiM home app on your Pro which is feeding audio over its optical output into the AVR’s optical input?

If the latter, does your AVR support a 24/192 signal on its optical inputs? Do you have another cable you can try? If you reduce the Pro’s output resolution to 24/96, does it perform without skipping?

I’d also try rebooting your Pro, and perhaps your router, as well as deleting and re-installing the WIiM Home app to see if that helps

Ha. Sorry. I have the Pro connected to my Anthem AVR using an Optical cable into an Optical IN on my AVR. I'm using my WIIM Home app & selecting Qobuz to play through my AVR & Home Theater.
All other streaming rates seem fine. I'll try rebooting everything a bit later today.
Thanks.

Does the AVR support 192k for the optical input? 96k is often maximum.

I'm having the same problem connected via optical. I just got an Anthem STR integrated and I'll be listening to music and then a track will stop playing about halfway through and switch to another song. There's no patten to this it's intermittent. Prior to the STR I was using a Yamaha RX-A6A AVR and it was doing the same thing so it's definitely not either of those pieces. I have talked to Wiim support about this and the guy I talked to said that he's heard of this problem from other people but those people were not using optical.

What streaming service are you using and how are you playing it to the WiM I.e. within the WiiM app or from the native app or via the native app using a Connect /Cast mechanism? Have you done the usual of rebooting your router and WiiM and tried other cables?

 

[andrewcruga]

Sorry I forgot to mention that I am using Qobuz. And I'm using the Wiim app. How else could you communicate with the Wiim if you weren't using the Wiim app? Using wifi to communicate from my iPad which from my seating location is about 15 ft away. I measured the wifi speed and it's over a gig.

I've reset the modem/router multiple times and I'm using a $200 Audioquest power cable (I know overkill but I wanted all my cables to match) and a $180 Audioquest Carbon optical cable.

Using the Qobuz app and Chromecast, AirPlay or even Bluetooth.

I’d try the optical cable that came with your WiiM and separately try dropping the optical output to 24/96 to see if those make a difference.
