The infamous DSD-click and DSF-FLAC conversion and transcoding
dtc:
Agreed, but worth trying just in case. These solutions sometimes work for specific DACs but not usually when caused by this coding problem.

2) Rip the files to DFF then boot into macOS which has an app called dff2dsf which repackages a DFF file to DSF without any sort of conversion.

You can convert DFF to DSF without resorting to macOS using Sox with a command line something like
--- Code: ---sox -D -S --no-clobber "input_filename.dff" -t dsf "output_filename.dsf"
--- End code ---
Things happen quickly enough to imply that no actual processing of the audio is taking place.

You can automate this and retain the metadata by using Bogi's method. https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/topic/21178-how-do-you-store-dff-untagged-files/page/8/?tab=comments#comment-365363

I guess I should count my blessings? That would drive me crazy. I too rip all my SACDs from my Oppo 103 to DSF using Senore, then play back my Media Center library from a PC on my Pioneer (or Oppo) SACD player. I've never heard this DSD click. Since I'm 90+% classical, I'm listening to a lot of DSF files. I'm wondering why I'm lucky? I've used the PC and Linux version of Senore, without the issue. Maybe I'm misunderstanding.
HandLogger:
Although I received a 120-day warning when I pressed the reply button, this thread seems to describe the question I have rather well...
If I'm understanding this issue correctly, if one uses the Sonore ISO2DSD interface to rip their own SACDs and selects the "Sony DSF" -- as opposed to the "Raw ISO" output mode -- they may very well end up with "The infamous DSD-click..." when converting the resulting .dsf files to .flac format. Is this correct?
If it is correct, can this be avoided altogether by simply using the ISO2DSD "Raw ISO" output mode and, afterword, converting the single .iso file to .flac directly?
Please forgive the rookie questions, but we're old school stereo listeners who are just now venturing into digital playback. ;)
