Beginning of audio tracks dropping out

[brownbear]

I am having an issue with the first second of sound on album tracks dropping out. It doesn't happen all of the time, but most of the time. I have MinimServer installed on a Synology DS213j over Ethernet to an Oppo BDP-105.

I am pretty sure that is has to do with album art as I cannot get the problem to replicate on files not tagged with art. That being said, these are small art files 500x500, so I don't know why it's choking.

Before I decided it was probably an art issue, I tried different connections from the BDP105 to my Pre amp and changing the Oppo setting from split AV to dual HDMI, but the problem was still there.

Is there anything else that could be causing this? I like the album art so I don't want to get rid of it.
