Sound stability

I connected my new Node (N130) with Amp NAD C338 by  Node's analogue-output to the 'streaming' input of the Amp. Also a subwoofer is connected directly to the Amp.

Listening to f.e. Tuneln radio, but also Spotify, I frequently notice  a decrease in sound clarity and or volume, which returns to its previous level after a while.

The wireless connection shows a good or even excellent signal.

What could be the cause of this?

  Hi Chris, Spotify has a low bit rate (quality), TuneIn can be variable but you can use the context menu to select a better stream.

  Would suggest you test using the Radio paradise FLAC or MQA streams to see if it continues.I would also try using another input on your amplifier.

  I have the same problem with ApplePlay for a few seconds on some songs.  Seems like a Appleplay connection problem.  High end disappears at the start on my NAD M10 V2, and then recovers after about 15 seconds into a song.  Sounds like this isn't just Spotify...

  HI James 

  AirPlay, like Spotify Connect is an end-point solution so works very similar. Go ahead and try Seppi's suggestion to check this. If you need further assistance, The Support Crew is only a menu option away in Settings, Send Support Request form the Home page of the BluOS App.
