I hear ya Jussi. I purchased a “high quality” braided USB cable from Amazon and it’s junk. Works half the time. I long for the days of certified cables everywhere. 

 

Blue Jeans certifies every single one of their USB cables, and even sends along the testing measurements of your specific cable.

There are many people using a single “Xfinity” supplied modem / router / switch to run their entire house and audio systems. Plus, some people get curious/dangerous and use creative networking with bridges, loops, and unnecessary configuration pretzeling. It all amounts to trouble. 
 

Getting a “real” network designed by someone who knows what s/he is doing, or educating oneself on the topic can go a very long way. 
 

I should start keeping track of the messed up things I see (no blame though, people just don’t know what to do). I’d soon have a list like this one -

I think on the flip side, certain companies *cough*Roon*cough* need to recognize that, just maybe, there is a chance there software has a bug and the problem isn't ALWAYS the customers network.

 

They literally stopped helping me find a solution to my problem when we ruled out all the network possibilities.

 

It pissed me off so much I am considering sending them the bill for the i9 sonic transporter as the workaround to their problem introduced with the latest update.
