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.

Nice!  Glad you got it sussed out.  I love my Pontus 15th.  Happy listening. 

Nice hard reboot on computer had to do it several times a day on our ele ctronic medical records. Never on my paper. Some times have to do it on the smart TV an I mean smaRt! .glad it's fixed.enjoy the music

You may want to turn off the Node's "audio clock trim"  OFF.   Also make sure digital pass through is ON.  Basically disable MQA.
