Thanks @Progisus! You are referring to the item in the attached image, correct? My DAC supports Native DSD so I didn’t have that checked as I understood it was not needed.
I didn’t realize that. Sorry.
All good, thank you. I appreciate all the help!! 
Hi @kennyb123 and @MarkCole - thanks for your suggestions earlier in this thread. I wanted to close the loop and share that your suggestions mentioned earlier have made a big difference. I’ve not experienced any of the dropouts whatsoever after having made the setting changes to quick pause and short buffer, as well as disabling IPv6. Performance has been rock solid.
I was also recently able to change my network configuration and am now using the ISP router / modem as the internet gateway solely, with my Linksys Velop now doing all the routing duties. Hence I can now also use DNS servers of my choosing.
Woo hoo. Happy to hear it and thanks for circling back to let us know.
