Audio dropouts on Raspberry Pi 3
bob:
Interacting with the running client through either remote desktop or VNC consumes a fair amount of resources.
Do you have any issues when you not connected to the desktop at all?
beard:
I unchecked everything in DSP Studio, and the issues persist. I run MediaCenter headless on the Pi, so I usually interact with it via the Windows client on my laptop unless I need to make configuration changes, in which case I open a VNC session. If I close the Windows client and VNC, I'll still get a dropout or two per track. But I can consistently recreate the issue by a) copying a large number of files to the library hard drive over LAN, or b) clicking between various smartlists in the interface when connected via VNC. Neither of these activities caused problems on MC21.
JimH:
Could this be a power problem?

What is plugged into the USB ports?
beard:
The only things plugged into USB are the USB DAC, and a desktop USB hard drive with its own power supply. So it doesn't seem to be a power issue. I never had audio dropouts with the exact same configuration in MC21.
JimH:
Is the DAC separately powered?
If not, what does it draw?
The standard Pi power supply doesn't allow for much more than the Pi. The link above explains that.
