Hello out there, can anyone help? Transfer my songs from the MacBook Pro / Mac OS Catalina via Bluetooth, the receiver is a Sony STR-DH 590. So far it was flawless, new is an unpleasant sound between all songs, a hiss or crack. Can I fix this through settings?
Hello @Michael, Can you send me a copy of the “Debug Info”? You can get it in Audirvana Settings>General>Debug Info
Note: By clicking on the Debug Info Audirvana button automatically copies all its content, all you have to do is paste it in response to this message
Hello Damien, thank you for support. Here below the debug info. Played with audio settings, have the impression problem only appears with upsampling and SoX algorithm.

Have you tried with power of 2 in the upsampling settings? in fact the settings you put may push a little bit too hard your DAC
Hello Damian, your answer came pretty fast, thanx. I changed the settings to “user-defined”. Now it works without disturbing scratch/crack sound. The other settings including “power of two” have not been helpful. Here the new parameters

Hi Damien
Apologies for the trouble but I have been having similar issues although mine is a brand new 2020 iMac connected to Topping D70 DAC via USB. The clicking and scratching sounds are continuous and renders my system unlistenable.

Shekhar
Hi Damien
I seem to have sorted the problem by combing through some old queries on the topic.
Please disregard my earlier message.
