Collecting bugs of X-SABRE 3

[Thierry]

Hi

I am a French Hifi reviewer.
Firmware is 1,0.1 build 048
I have a strong Wifi 6 mesh, with 1 Gbps bandwidth. X-Sabre 3 is 3 feet away from the access point.
X-sabre 3 is directly connected to power blocks, no preamplifier.

Issue 1: Noises and scratches with Wifi
There are "bad" noises if you move manually to another track (same sampling). It happens also at "next track". This issue nearly fully disappears with ethernet connexion (it remains a little "something"....)  With other DACs (as Weiss 502 or Tambaqui, it seems that there is some kind of mute before play when clock changes)

Issue 2: Jriver DLNA server does not see X-Sabre 3
But Jriver can see X-Sabre 3 when connected to ethernet (I have other wifi DACS in other rooms one floor above, and Jriver can see them all)
Bubleupnpserver (that I use to transform DNLA renderers to Open Home renderers) always see X-sabre3, Wifi and Ethernet.
I have a used more than a dozen of DACs, it is the first time I have this behavior.

Issue 3: With DLNA, quite important "noises" when sampling frequency changes in a playlist. But this issue seems to be less present with ROON (less often and less "noise"): to be confirmed with ROON. Seems to be more important with Wifi than with Ethernet: to be confirmed

I will make other comprehensive tests on these subjects and keep you posted.

Kind regards
Thierry
