Gaps Between Tracks

Yes, when the streamer is the control point, it works as I've highlighted above in bold.

In this case, there was a gap of about 5 seconds between the end of track 1 and the start of track 2. This suggests that the Denon is buffering more than 5 seconds of audio.

Quote:When there is an external control point, the Denon DNP-720AE doesn't support gapless playback, but when everything is working well, the gap is very minimal; so, yes, the Denon does appear to buffer.

Anyway, the real fix seems to be to disable "network standby" so that the streamer is cold booting with each session (i.e. power up); I think the Denon has software issues that are resolved with a full boot.

I really want to replace this device, but the Naim and Linn pieces are just insanely expensive. I've looked at the SimAudio Moon 180 MiND, but I don't have a dealer nearby.

Thanks for looking at the logs and keep up the great work.

Good luck with your search for a replacement! You could check the Digital Audio section of this forum for previous recommendations from other users or you could start a thread there asking for suggestions.
