Title: Getting lots of pops/ticks when playing back dsf files
Post by: lordvader on November 05, 2019, 09:26:13 pm
Hey all,
I've recently been getting lots of pops and ticks when playing back dsf files. These are during playback (not between tracks).
I'm using a Topping D50 dac.

Everything is setup properly -

I'm currently running MacOS 10.14.5, on a 2017 Macbook Pro (15").
JRiver version 25.0.114

I've attached a log file too :)
Let me know if there's anything else I should add.

Try the lastest build and you may need to reselect your Audio device in MC Options.

Everything is setup properly -
  • Bitstream output
  • 1 second buffer
  • Load the entire track into memory
  • No DSP filters

In some cases turning OFF the Bitstream DSD setting can solve that problem, at least in terms of DLNA settings, are you using that or is this a direct connection from the PC to DAC via USB?

Thing is, if I turn off bitstreaming, I don't automatically get DSD sent to my DAC. And yeah, this is a USB between laptop and DAC.
I've since updated, so keeping an eye on it.
