Atom skipping with spotify connect

I have reviewed previous posts to find a fix, but without luck.

Every 20-30 minutes the when streaming from Spotify connect the music cuts out for around 1 second.

I have tired wireless and wired connections. I have a mesh network and fibre internet connection - it makes no difference if i’m streaming 4k video on the network at the same time or not. A 320 kbps stream should not be any issue at all.

I’ve tried soft reset and factory reset, neither have resolved the issue.

Airplay seems fine. I’m currently testing Spotify via Chromecast.

Any suggestions welcome.

Spotify via chromecast does not seem to have a problem…so the issue seems to be localised to spotify connect.

Where to go from here?
