wklie Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 In the last few days I've been diagnosing a Tidal issue with a user in Romania. With Google DNS, Tidal works for his home setup and work setup. With Cloudflare DNS, Tidal at home is slow (takes more than 10 seconds for a seek) but it's normal at work. Of course his home ISP and work ISP are different. We went through changes from Google DNS -> Cloudflare DNS -> Google DNS -> Cloudflare DNS -> Google DNS, and tested more than one hardware units. The result is 100% consistent, i.e. the problem 100% occurs with Cloudflare DNS, and 100% works well with Google DNS. Anyone has any insights to share about this, or what could possibly go wrong with his home ISP, or what he should tell his home ISP? P.S. I've read a competitor streamer support post that recommends Google DNS for US, and Cloudflare DNS for Europe. Peter Lie LUMIN Firmware Lead Link to comment
botrytis Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 If I might make make a suggestion - utilize something like Pingplotter as that can actually graph and list out where your problems are. This way you can test the different DNS servers. wklie 1 Current: Daphile on an AMD A10-9500 with 16 GB RAM DAC - TEAC UD-501 DAC Pre-amp - Rotel RC-1590 Amplification - Benchmark AHB2 amplifier Speakers - Revel M126Be with 2 REL 7/ti subwoofers Cables - Tara Labs RSC Reference and Blue Jean Cable Balanced Interconnects Link to comment
