I observe playback issues from USB connected HDD on Rivo Plus. There are random silent gaps during playback for 5-15 seconds, sometimes several times during a song.
It was working without problem right till the moment I did the update to 3.816.
When it happens, it’s like playback is paused, however time counter keeps progressing, and as a later consequence, on the connected tv screen it looks like already the next song is playing, while actually the previous track is still playing the end of the song. The time of the gaps add together… Also many times the sampling frequency and bit depth info disappears.
Restart, or power down and up does not help.
No similar issues while streaming from Tidal.
Rivo plus is connected to Denafrips Pontus 15th dac via short I2S cable.
Thank you for your detailed report. I can confirm that the sample rate and bit depth information are random missed during playback. I have relayed this issue to the development team, and it is currently under investigation.
I appreciate your patience, and I will keep you updated as soon as there are any developments. Please let me know if you notice any additional details that might help in diagnosing the problem.
The 4th log is about when few minutes later I tried to play a FLAC file from another folder. I observed slowness in loading the content, then when I hit the play icon on a song, nothing happened, playback did not even start.

From this point on, all was slow. Finally the USB folder completely disappeared from Music Library. Everything felt slower, even Tidal albums, playlists loaded longer, than usual. I did restart, then all is back to “normal”.
