After having installed Id in my playback system, I m about to start to like the device in the playback chain... except for some nasty gliches, that appear ,
no matter what sample rate is played from SSD. LAN connected.

The USB- device (an AFI-USB reclocker, followed by a DSP/DAC) is currently plugged to one of Id s front plugs.
ID recognizes the device on CARD1 as "J20" with the name "JLsounds Hi-Rez audio 2.0"

In "output devices" , there appear serveral "J20" choices.


Even choosing front=CARD J20 does not prevent playback glitches , especially audible when music is low...


Maybe a driver problem or did I choose a wrong setting?

Thanks
Frank

If you're playing from a USB drive, and it's a USB 3.0 drive, then it needs to be plugged into a USB 3.0 port. 

What happens if you plug the DAC in directly?

HI Jim

The DSP/DAC alone seems not to work at front USB.

I get DSP/DAC playing on the upper rear USB, with "output device" set to iec958:CARD=DAC...,
no glitches.

Connecting the reclocker "J20" to the same rear output , "output device" set to iec958:CARD=J20...
brings an overall more pleasant sound, but the glitches are here again...

The USB part of AFI reclocker draws ca 500mA from the connected USB port

But its allows to feed 5V DC/500mA  externally.

That did the trick. The USBplug on the Id seemed to be unhappy delivering 500mA.
