(perhaps Matt can respond)

I've mentioned this in a prior post but am making this the sole topic in hopes of an answer.  Using DSP over DoP with USB connection via Win 7 Professional.  When tracks play without user-intervention there is never a click.  When manually skipping ahead or backwards there is a soft click heard.  I've tried setting the buffer to 250 ms without benefit.  I believe this is only an issue when driving the Chord in DSD mode.

Is there a solution?

(PS, I really want to continue to use JRemote to control volume -- i.e. not interested in bitstream direct modes that eliminate the volume option)

If you want volume, it means you can either:
1) Play as high sample rate PCM
or
2) Use real-time DSD output encoding in DSP Studio > Output Format

Are you using #2?  When you hear the click, does the DAC fall out of DSD mode?

[hlesser]

I'm using version 19.0.60 & real-time DSD output encoding

DAC doesn't appear to drop out of DSD mode when manually changing tracks -- click ONLY heard on manual track changes.

Here's my settings ...

DEVICE SETTINGS
Digital output
+ Exclusive access
+ Play a little silence
Bit depth = AUTO
Buffering = 250 ms

OUTPUT ENCODING
DSD in DoP
Bitstreaming: None
Prebuffer: 6 sec
Silence @ startup: 0.5 sec
Switch tracks: Standard 0.4 sec
Use gapless for sequential tracks

If you switch to a short duration gapped fade, does it solve the issue?

If you stop a signal midstream, it could cause a little tick.  Fading down the old song would fix that.

Perfect!  That's the solution. 

Thanks Matt for the great support you provide for this outstanding software.
