Just for closure, I returned a few days ago from holiday to find the
replacement Pi from PiHut (who handled the exchange with speed and
minimal fuss), booted it up with the previously configured SD card, and
all seems well and stable. It has been playing without issue for three
or four days now,
@THEMICKSA
Pi Hut are pretty good
They have replaced a couple or so rpi 4b for me.
They have even replaced replacements that have failed :rolleyes:

I wonder why my E30 works perfectly?
I only bought it for testing/developing USB DACs on pCP but
unfortunately I set it to DAC mode, set pCP up in a couple of minutes,
and it has worked ever since.
I have only ever used pCP8 betas and pCP8.0.0.
I wonder if its the E30 firmware.

The "Add a Topping E30 USB DAC" topic was written by me and is what I
have done on my system. It's been working perfect for me.
The E30 needs to be powered before pCP starts. There is no automatic USB
detection of the DAC. That's why I power it via the RPi4B USB.

Is a "fixed IP" the same as Static address? Either way, no is the
answer. There is a facility on the router to "reserve" IP addresses but
I have not added the pi to that list yet.

Oh dear. Sorry to say but it appears you really dont know what you are

Lets go back a bit.
The Innuos box is just a PC in a fancy case that runs a version of Linux
branded as Vortexbox. This includes a number of instances of Squeezelite
and also LMS. It also acts as a low grade NAS.

I don't think I see an option on the NAS to do that. As mentioned that's

I mentioned this before.
for CIFS, vers=3 is not valid. This the way the kernel developers
chose to do this, so please don't shoot me.
vers=3.0
And are you sure your NAS supports SMB version 3 protocol? Have you
tried vers=2.0 or even vers=1.0?
