RCD510 jumping?

[matchboy]

Thanks for the feedback folks.

Probably jumping was the wrong terminology to use.

What I have sussed today is if you press next to go to the next track, it never "jumps". However if you let the RCD510 change from one track to the next naturally it seems to start playing the new track, then it mutes for a split second and then recommences.

It's quite annoying especially if the track starts loudly. Its obviously not noticeable if the track fades in.

It doesn't seem to do it in "Scan" mode.

I might burn myself some cut down tracks of 15 seconds or so so I can demonstrate it to the garage, but I doubt I'll get anywhere as it seems to be a common feature 

Back on to Dynaudio, it must be out of this world. I wouldn't mind hearing one to compare. I'm not doubting that it, but the factory set up is fantastic on its own.

I would also try making some tracks with a lower bit-rate on your iPod and see if they still jump when you try playing a couple of 128bit songs in a row.  Perhaps if they are a higher bitrate (bigger files) the RCD takes a few seconds to buffer / load them?
Worth a go for the 5 mins it'll take.

I have my mp3 music ripped at 256kbps, so might try re-ripping some music at a lower bitrate. I'm also very pleased with the RCD510/Dynaudio package. Expensive, yes, but it makes those long motorway journeys almost bearable. I'm a little disappointed with GALA though - even at its highest setting it seems to make very little difference to the volume as the speed/ambient noise level increases. Anyone else found this?

My 310 with ipod jumps too. I'm used to it now as it's on all the time so doesn't bother me. But the fact that it does it with the 310 and the 510 suggests it's the ipod itself.

Can I just ask, what iPod's are you using ?

[howlingmoon]

hmmm my iPhone or the shuffle does not skip or have a lag when playing. Both devices seem fine to me playing on RNS310... It has been on all the time...

I'm not noticing this at all with my iPod nano 3.  I'd be blazing mad if it was happening, because all my music is long works split into tracks by the CD compilers.  Often the track splits are entirely arbitrary, because the music is continuous for an hour or more.

If it couldn't go seamlessly from track to track, I'd go ballistic.

310, by the way.

Ok, might be good to keep a track record.

Also, the guys with their ipods jumping, have you updated or are you running the latest update/firmware on them ?
