Radio Paradise

Bluesound Pulse 2i Connection lost.
Last few weeks i'm having problems with the Radio Paradise streams on my Bluesound Pulse 2i. It tries to reconnect but fails. Other stations have no issues.
Old post says that in the past there were issues with European servers reconnecting to USA?

Iâm having the same issues with both my Bluesound Pulse and also in car with Apple Play. If I try using the BluOS connection the songs will stop every few seconds in after playing ok for about 30 seconds when initially starting. I can queue up the RP app, connect to Pulse via Bluetooth and play ok that way. But prefer to use BluOS so I can easily use remote to change station, mute or change volume.

My best answers:

1. That's what i get as well...believe its the way it was setup and not an issue. You should be getting the CD/Flac stream no problem.
2. you should be getting 4 stream/mix each for CD and MQA picks via the Node - Main, Mellow, Rock, World/Etc. Not sure why you would want access to a lower quality stream than CD/MQA?
3. I get that too...it's how it was setup. When switching, you are starting a new stream...switching to a new stream requires you to restart at the beginning. Sometimes it skips ahead to the next song.

Good Morning,

Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions.

I'm setting up RP on a Bluesound Node 2i (latest versions of software and app) and have the following questions;

1: I notice when I select the CD quality (flac) stream the small "RP" logo is white but the "CD" logo is greyed out. Does this mean I'm not receiving the flac stream or just that the logo is grey?

2: I only have the option to select CD (flac) or MQA, where are the other streams located?

3: When changing between the 2 streams I notice that the currently played song starts from the beginning again each time I switch. I was expecting a constant stream that would just play from wherever the stream was. Example; select flac and song x starts, listen to bit then switch to MQA and song x starts again, listen to it for a bit and switch back to flac and song x starts again. Is the device caching a whole song or something?
