Clicking Popping on some tracts thru AKM 32bit/DSD64 Amanero Chipset DAC

Do the clicks and pops haoppen only on particular tracks that you’ve tried playing more than once and never on other tracks? If so, are the pops/clicks always in the same location on the track?

If the answer is yes to both of those this has nothing to do with your DAC or clock.

Go to the Amenaro web site and confirm you have their latest firmware ,if not then delete the old file ,download it and open it up then instal ,

and remember to disconnect the usb cable ,turn off the dac then after it’s reinstalled then reconnect the usb cable and turn on dac 

that happened to me before I bought a dedicated streamer.

I get the occasional click/pop from JRiver. I blame my notebook computer, an old Dell. Likely a problem streaming from RAM or a processor interrupt.  I’ve just learned to live with it as I’m not ready to upgrade my file serving computer.  

If you were to upload that same file to another program like Foobar, do you still get the click/pop? My streamer is a little Intel nuc and running foobar on 24/192 tracks while also using the Mathaudio room correction plugin I can get it to cut out due to too resource intensive.

Try to cut as many windows processes as possible, check your task manager to make sure nothing is sneaky in the background, and maybe plug in some headphones straight to the pc to see if the clicks are still there or if it is a clocking/dac issue.

Thanks for all the ideas!  If something works, Ill let you know.
