The drop-outs always occur in the same places on the same tracks, so there is some consistency there.

Also, since posting before, I have upgraded the Klimax firmware to latest version, but that has made no difference, unfortunately.

This suggests that the NAS is consuming 100% CPU when transcoding 24/192 files. Another possibility is that the NAS is running out of RAM. What is the exact model of NAS? How did you check the CPU consumption?

Another thought: the FLAC compression level can affect CPU consumption when transcoding. Did you rip the 24/192 file yourself? If so, what level of FLAC compression did you use?
