Sonos connect streaming to HIFI from phone

I have a Sonos connect wired to my purely analog amplifier (connected to 2 floorstanding speakers through cable).

I’m trying to stream Spotify music to the amplifier from my iPhone XS (so that I use the Sonos DAC) but the sound is chopping up (1-2 sec drops every minute or 2). So, no wireless speakers or anything,

Sonos connect is on channel 6, router is on 11. I can stream perfectly from the iPhone to wireless homepod speakers so the wifi is not the problem probably. Not sure what is.

I understand. Thanks for the tip. I just submitted a diagnostic. It’s number 1079766602.

I thought it could be hardware related (some capacitor dying) but, as we speak, Spotify streaming to Sonos causes drops every 10 sec but streaming from the Sonos S1 app causes drops every 1 minute or so. Also when I was submitting the diagnostic, the drop lasted as long as the process lasted.

So it must be software related.
