Since the latest firmware update sometimes when starting a track (could be Tidal Max quality tracks) there is a small pause about 1s into the track (1s pause) then the track continues okay. Its intermittent though - but I think consistently reproducible:
Choose an internet radio station (BBC Radio 1 HD)
Listen for a moment
Switch to Tidal and open Album: Korn (Issues) 192KHz/24
Play track 02 (hear small pause on start)
Skip to track 03 (hear small pause on start)
Switch to another track - no more pauses - flawless playback
Yep i recognize this problem too on my Uniti Atom. It doesn’t happen very often i must say. Mostly one song per album and I also had some listening sessions that it didn’t happen at all. Personally not a big deal for me but it would be nice if they can fix it.
I experience this too - those little pauses during playback drive me crazy. I never had this issue with the ND555 on previous firmware versions.
Setting the Chromecast input to OFF might somehow solve the problem (but sounds worse overall).
