After lots of help from you guys getting my laptop configured to play bit perfect through the mdac, I seem to have got a similar but different issue that is very strange indeed. Hopefully you can give me some advice.
It's the popping and clicking issue again, but this time its different. I only happens on certainalbums and the buffer display on the mdac is not coordinated with the pops this time. In fact, this time the pops are always in the same place on the recordings in question, as in its like they are actually on the recording. I've noticed it so far on black holes by muse, track 2 - starlight, and also on any track on Cure's greatest hits.
My actions so far - reripped the muse album again into flac using dbpoweramp. Got a 127 accurate matches which is very high. Played again on foobar, still got the pops in the same places. Tried playing the track using my sonos zp90 outputted via the coax into the mdac, no pops. Then last night, I changed the laptop around to output through the rdac, all other settings identical. No pops.
So I've isolated the problem to just being a problem with the usb on the mdac on certain songs, but no idea what to do next.
