Playing DSD .dsf files from the beginning on the Rossini skips the first 0.84 second of audio

My issue has nothing to do with files being skipped, it’s the DAC not playing the first .84 second of a track if it has to switch from PCM to DSD mode, which happens a lot as whenever the data stream stops the DAC reverts to expecting PCM.

While product updates are indeed infrequent, most would consider 14.5 months within the realm of “expected” for a bug fix for an issue that I would expect may affect many.

I wouldn’t be as antsy were I not concerned that dCS might discontinue Rossini before they issue a fix, and they don’t issue fixes for obsolete products, so I would be stuck with the issue forever.

It’s not impossible to work around, just a bit painful (the easiest way is to allow the Rossini to pull songs from a server rather than send songs to Rossini.)
