I recently gained the courage to assemble my own music server. Amazingly enough, I was able to get everything up and operating, with my Alpha DAC indicating high resolution sampling rates (Yeah!). Even so, I have ran into a significant issue; Occassionally, when MC15 switches between tracks, or from one music file to another, I get a loud "crack" out of my speakers. This happens between tracks of the same file type and resolution, and between files of different resolutions. Conversly, I get no such "cracks" when playing CD's through my Oppo BDP-83.
I have hunted through MC15 looking for solutions, and have already tried the following settings:
Tools > Options > Track Change > "Switch Tracks : Standard (gapped) - 0.1s"
Tools > Options > Settings > "Play silence at startup for hardware synchronization: 1/4 second"
It does not appear that these settings have had any effect. Due to the severity of the "crack", and the potential for damage to my speakers, I am extremely hesitant to use my new server (ouch).
I just loaded MC15, so there are very few files in my library. I have experienced the problem between .wav file tracks, from a HRx sampler disc, and between flac files, as converted during ripping a CD (Nora Jones, come away with me).
Thank you for whatever help you may be able to offer,
Frank
