Tidal Connect - Problem with MAX Albums

[d3vil0]

Hi,
From some time, I have problem with playing Tidal MAX Albums (those with FLAC 4350 kbps 24-bit/192 kHz.
At Random times, music stop playing for 1-2 sec - like 20-40 times per song.

Wiim soft is up to date.
This is not a internet issue problem - tested and rebooted everything. Connecting only through IPv4 with google DNS's on 5GHz Wifi and 300Mbit fiber. On other devices TIDAL works just fine.
# Tested different SPDIF cables (using stock Wiim cable, cleaned up - not twisted),
# Lowering SPDIF output resolution in Wiim to test.
# Tested Diffrent DAC SPDIF inputs

Nothing is working.

Problem occurs on Tidal album: The Alan Parsons Project - I Robot.
Looks like software/hardware problem to me.

We will be grateful for your help.

It do look like either a HW or network issue. Have you tried with 2G WiFi? It is more stable. Or maybe try Ethernet if possible.

I have just played the album on my Ultra. No issues at all. I play 24/96 out via optical.

I agree. While you may think that your WiFi is OK this is the most likely weak point in the delivery chain when the source is HiRes.
As suggested try 2.4Ghz WiFi if you can or better still Ethernet.

I use ethernet connection and no problems at all.
