I have a pair of Node Nano connected via ethernet. My songs drop/interupt about every 10 minutes for a few seconds, picking up where it was interrupted, on both devices. I also have a pair of NAD CI 580 units, also connected via ethernet. I do not have any issues with them, only the Node Nano. I have unplugged (for 30 minutes) my router, switch, Nodes, and cable modem, restarting them one at a time beginning with the cable modem, router, switch, then Node. It didn't help.

I am open to any suggestions, very frustrating. I have a ubiquiti network (router and APs). All of my music streaming apps work fine when streaming from my phone to a bluetooth speaker. All of my TV streaming services work fine. I only have issues when streaming through the Bluesound App with the Node.

  See if it started around the same time Unifi sent out a firmware update - there has been many recent crappy ones. Next temporarily run a NANO use the Ethernet that’s currently on a CI 580 ( same switch, port and cable) and see if it still drops, Do also try a different source, local.music is a good option (few tracks on a usb memory stick plugged into the back of the NANO).
