Getting lots of crackles on this thing listening to FLAC in foobar and streaming with Google Play music. Using the USB on PC with Windows 10. Followed the driver install guide, and the install went smoothly. All features work, just getting random pops and crackles on all my music. Set volumes to 50% across the board on all playback sources. Adjusted ASIO buffer sizes, adjusted bitrates...nada.
I'd say 90% it sounds great with my Grado SR225's...but that 10% when it crackles randomly in a song is really a bummer...
Jo3f1shWell, swapped over to a mini Toslink cable, and the crackle is gone. I guess it was just the USB interface. Currently listening on my Sound Blaster Titanium XF-i over Optical out at 24-bit 96KHz, and all is crystal clear!
