There's a few known bugs relating to stuttering at the moment. The database indexing can cause stuttering during playback (the database is indexing if you see a 'DB' icon in the top right), and Flac tracks in particular seem to stutter more too. The other thing that can cause it is some SD cards (for reasons we've not figured out yet) are just sometimes very slow to read and will cause stuttering.
I have the same headphones and I have used them extensively with my Tangara with no issues, so I am leaning slightly towards this being a case of the Flac stuttering issue (https://codeberg.org/cool-tech-zone/tang...issues/132) or an issue with the SD card (https://codeberg.org/cool-tech-zone/tang...issues/159).
A few things you can try that might help:
- Make sure the database isn't updating whilst playing
- Make sure the headphones aren't connected to another device that may cause congestion or prevent playback
- Try with another SD card
- Make sure any Flac tracks are sampled at 48khz to avoid any issues with resampling
- Possibly try convert Flac tracks to another format
These issues are being actively investigated so if the above doesn't help, hopefully we have a fix for this soon. There's also a PR that some people have reported helps with the stuttering (https://codeberg.org/cool-tech-zone/tang.../pulls/308) but it seems like it's still a WIP at this stage.
