    I replaced a microRendu with an ultraRendu, leaving everything else the same. Now get the message that Roon can't find HQplayer. Roon found the ultraRendu immediately and opened a box to name it. I typed in ultraRendu instead of living room -- which may have been the name of the microRendu. Could that be the problem? If not how do I fix it? I did also replaced the CIA power supply with an UpTone LPS-1.2, but surely that's irrelevant.

    Correction to above: The Ayre QX-5/20 digital hub is connected to Google mesh via an ethernet cable, not to the Mac mini. Since removing the power line ethernet there has not been a single unauthorized pause, so those who suggested that might be causing the problem seem to have been right.

    Removed all the power line ethernet stuff and using WiFi, Spontaneous pausing problem seems to be cured. Tomorrow installing Google mesh. I do use an ethernet cable from the Mac mini to the Ayre QX-5/20 digital hub

    The Ayre DX-5 DSD uses asynchronous USB with a block to RFI, and I am using a USB connection from the iMac to it. A reviews that includes a discussion with Charles Hansen revealsl that he expected the USB port to become even more important than discs as a source, so it got a lot of design attention. The DX-5 DSD output is balanced to a Parasound JC 2 BP preamp and JC 1 monoblocks that drive KEF Ref 107/2s. The sound is excellent, especially with MQA and DSD files. But, it should be noted, the same pauses occur with my Ayre QX-5 Twenty digital hub, a recent product.

    Roon core and bridge have begun pausing while playing a file, showing the horizontal triangle. Clicking the triangle restarts play from the paused point. Sometimes the pauses are infrequent, other times not. Core runs on a dedicated Mac mini attached to an Ayre QX-5 Twenty digital hub via ethernet, bridge on an iMac attached to an Ayre DX-5 DSD universal player via USB. What might the problem be and the fix for it? It's been suggested that I remove Roon from the mini, iMacs, and perhaps iPad, and reload, but I'm not sure how to do that.
