The RPi is having to transcode those streams down on the fly to a reduced bitstream to accommodate the SB3s. And the 4s are prone to run hot to begin with. I would make sure the Pi has adequate cooling and is not periodically throttling down under load, as they sometimes do. That could cause streaming interruptions. If everything is connected via Ethernet, there should be no other bottlenecks for what should be a 705 kbps stream, even in a 10/100 network. If all you have are SB3s, I would just recode it down to 44/16 wav using dbPoweramp, and relieve both ends from having to do any meaningful processing work. A Redbook wav file in 2022 is pocket change for storage and streaming purposes and plays on anything with no headaches. I remember the heated arguments here a couple decades ago over flac vs. wav, when people were struggling with 400GB HDDs and 802.11g routers. With todays 4k video files and 20TB drives, those arguments are now quaint in hindsight. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sgmlaw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13995 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117034
