clicks right before start of new track from .ISO (SACD)

<< < (2/9) > >>

AGAWA:
for example, Audirvana sets DoP for DSD files being sent to Apogee Duet.
I will argue with clicks being result of conversion to PCM,
Clicks are a symptom of switching to new track with  change of format, while there is no change of format between the tracks,

Awesome Donkey:
The OS doesn't matter, whether it be Windows, macOS, Linux, etc. It'll still do it. Also from all the stuff I read, the Duet doesn't support DSD or DoP, it only supports up to 24-bit/192 kHz, unless I'm missing something here?

Also even though clicks/pops happen when changing sample rates with DACs for example, if I don't DSD bitstream with my DAC it'll always pop/click with every track no matter what on all OSes.

AGAWA:
BTW,
searching for info on Duet I've come across some interesting reading:
pls find the link:

Will test DSF album and advise, and what I see perhaps I have to look for DSD capable DAC.
But Duet give so much joy?

AGAWA:
Just listening to MCH DSf album ( converted from ISO),
Only initial click( as one expects), when system sets , and no clicks between the tracks.
Listening in two scenarios : 1. with JRSS mixing
2. no down or up mixing
Album is Vivaldi Opus 111 in 4.0
ANTONIO VIVALDI - VIVALDI Vespri per l'assunzione di maria vergine

No clicks between tracks.
I will argue your standing.

There is a problem in JRiver MC how it treats consecutive tracks in ISO album.
Each track is treated as new entity and resets DAC and hence click.

Once we are inside the ISO , there should be no change in DAC setup.
There should be constant flow of new tracks with the same parameters.

AGAWA:
Imported the same Vivaldi , but ISO now.
No audible clicks.
There are very short or almost no pauses between the tracks.

Bach, as described yesterday has long pauses between the tracks and there is always  the click.

And this is possibly the only explanation of the problem. But handling of ISO files  by MC has something to do with clicks.

MC is very flexible and I'm close to deciding that this will by my way forward, but trying to solve all  and any issues before I switch from silver discs to computer audio.
I'm hard to satisfy with anything else than my now old Sony SACD player.
Would like to see MCH DAC on similar level of SQ at reasonable price. Still old Sony has no competition.
