Hoping someone can help with a long standing issue I have had with a pi
zero (non wifi) / Allo miniBoss dacHat setup - using Plugable usb
Ethernet adaptors. I appreciate this might be an obscure problem, but
any info opinions welcome.

I have 2 of these setups. Both are using PiCorePlayer 6.0. Setup A is
using a 24v/4amp psu and 5v/1.2amp isolated dc-dc converter. Setup B is
using a 20v/2.2amp psu and 5v/2amp dc-dc converter (non isolated).

Setup A is rock solid - I never have and crashes of squeezelite and the
OS is stable. It is set to reboot once a week.

Setup B used to have frequent problems coming back up after a scheduled
reboot (again once per week), until I changed to a beefier psu that I
have detailed above. Now it’s in frequent that it fails to come back
up, but it still happens every few weeks. I also get the odd crash that
I have not been able to diagnose. This is random although I am usually
listening to the excellent BBC Sounds app plugin - Radio 2 Live. I
cannot ping or ssh when it happens, but the USB Ethernet adapter still
seems active ( leds on ). 

I recently upgraded setup B to PicorePlayer 8.2 - but still see the same
issues. So I decided to switch to Raspios instead with the same version
of squeezelite setup as a service. This was primarily so I could look at
logs and diagnose issues more easily after crashes, but this has proved
reliable so far with no crashes and reboots every time - have been
testing for a week now.

Does anyone have suggestions/opinions? As always, thx to all who give up
their spare time and contribute here - much appreciated.
