I’m tempted to blame the switches as DLink products have been a nightmare for me over the years. That implies that the switches are doing something stupid with multicast traffic, but doesn’t prove that they are at fault. In the end, gentlemen, I thank you very much for helping me and hinting me towards the solution !Īt this point there’s really no information on the root cause of the issue other than the fact that your configuration doesn’t work with DLink switches. Computing remains maybe “voodoo” after all… So, as far as I’m concerned, I can say “ problem solved” - even if it’s with a slight feeling of “voodoo things happening in the : maybe you’d like to “tame” this voodoo ? Would you advise me to post on a JRMC forum ? And what about making AQVOX aware of this issue ? Do you think it’s worth it ? I’m afraid we have a situation with three - or even four - protagonists (JRiver, D-Link, dCS, AQVOX) who can mutually blame each other for the problem… Without even saying anything about Apple. And should I add MacOS into the formula? Truth is I didn’t test with a Windows machine.Īs for me, since I’ve added a Rossini Clock to my Bartók, I’m not in “need” for AQVOX switches and get a “decent” (tongue in cheek) sound quality with ZyXel ones. If you’re using JRMC, you won’t experience any problem with your dCS units, as long as you don’t use D-Link switches.

you use only the Roon infrastructure for network playback - you won’t experience any problem, either with D-Link switches or with dCS units. It’s only when using D-Link switches - unmodified ones or AQVOX modified - that happens the problem of “lost contact” between dCS units and JRMC.Īs long as you don’t use JRMC - i.e. The situation remains stable along the days and JRMC as a UPnP server remains accessible for playback by Mosaic on iPad. as expected - with ZyXel switches (at least with those I tested) : every device - dCS and others - remains visible and functional in JRiver MC.

I could make some further testing with another ZyXel switch and here are the results and what I can say with a good dose of certainty :Įverything works fine - i.e.
