Stereopair Powernode 2 - phase keeps switching

I own 2 powernode 2's, finally was able to create a stereopair by using either the windows or ios app in andoid app the players don't appear under stereopair when creating fixed group. After lot of troubles it works but with a side note that the phase or "stereo" image keeps switching/moving between the left and right powernode. It is pretty annoying cause it sounds really great if it works, every single time if your play a next song the first 15 to 20 it is sync/switching/phase all over the place. Both powernodes are hardwired on the same router within 1.5 meter distant with cat 6 sftp cables. Tried everything but cannot seem to get it right. Anyone else with a stereopair encouter the same problem? If i group the both players and let 1 play left output and the other the right output it is the same as with stereopair. Hope there is a solution for this. Kind regards, Robert.

  Hello Robert,

  Have you tried toggling either A/V Mode or Compressed Group Audio for the Optical input on both Powernodes? You can find this feature under Settings > Player > Customize Sources > Optical Input. 

  I see you also have a support request opened with the support crew. If toggling the above does not help alleviate the issue, please let them know so they may investigate this issue more closely.

  Hi Sam R,

  ( Also a repost ;-) )
  Thanx for your reply.

  The A/V mode or compressed group audio for the optical input doesnt effect the streaming from tidal/qobuz/spotify so even if i would change it it would still be the same.

  I just gave up on the 2 Powernodes combined.
  I purchased a Node 2i and 2xNAD C268 to achieve my bi-amping.

  Kind regards,
  Robert
