Brand new Denafrips Pontus 15 clicking constantly

I just got a brand new Denafrips Pontus 15 delivered. I swapped out my Mytek Brooklyn DAC using the same cables. I'm getting a constant click, about one a second. Here's a recording of it,

I am using a Bluesound Node 2i as a streamer, coaxial output into the Denafrips. Using it in NOS mode, but it happens in OS mode too. I'm using the single-ended outputs into a Primaluna Dialogue Premium preamp, and HP poweramp.

Any ideas on how to trouble shoot this. I'm hoping it's not a defective unit, but it sounds like a digital processing issue to me.

Unplug the Node for a few seconds and try again.  Try running the Node from its analog outs into the preamp and see if it still happens.  That’s really strange.

I unplugged the Node, and reseated all the connectors, and it's fixed it. I'll be doing some deeper testing tomorrow. Panic over, thanks for the help.
