X-SABRE 3 streaming DAC, latest firmware update, ethernet wired connection to 1Gbps internet line, mostly used through Tidal Connect, from both PC and Android smartphone.
I'm noticing an issue that is happening more and more often over the last months, like some kind of degradation in the stability of the software.
Sometime the Tidal controller app (regardless if on the smartphone or the PC) loses the synchro with the streamer, with the time and progress bar not advancing, and by consequence the lyrics not being synchronized with the music.
The skip next/back buttons still work, as well as selecting an other song, that means the connect is not completely lost, but the playback time status does not sync.
Of course I've already verified that this happens only with the X-Sabre. When using Tidal Connect onto other devices they are all fine, that is the issue belongs to the X-Sabre and not to the controller app, or the LAN connection or other factors.
Putting the device in stand-by and on again does not solve the issue. Only by unplugging the power and completely restarting the device does help. Unfornutely after a few days it happens again, even if not in specific predictable conditions.
Besides of this, I also report that Tidal Connect on X-Sabre does not implement gapless playback, which is an other issue reported in other threads.
I hope the Matrix team can look into Tidal Connect functionality and improve it as needed.
Thank you.
