How do I troubleshoot skipping music?

Posted by mikecole on December 29, 2016 at 08:03:53:
I have a set up where I stream music from my media server to a Logitec Squeezebox and then to my DAC. This morning it started acting strange. It kept skipping parts of the music or replaying parts of the music. It sounds to me like the packets are being missed or re-sent. How in the world do I troubleshoot something like this? It could be the computer or the router or the squeezebox or maybe even the DAC. I thought I could rule out the DAC since it only plays what is fed into it. Could the network card in the computer be guilty? It seems like the router would not suddenly start doing something like that ... or? I am not sure what part the Squeezebox plays in this. If this were being done wirelessly, I would suspect that, but it is a wired connection everywhere. Can anybody help with a best guess of where the problem is most likely to occur?
