DSD popping sound with Weiss DAC204

However if the transient ‘pop or tick’ is related to sample-rate switching between PCM an DSD files at the start or the end of the DSD playback, then this is the issue:

If so increase the sample-rate change time and mute during sample-rate changes.

Yeah I believe this is the issue with my DAC.

How do I configure Audirvana to increase the sample-rate change time and mute during sample-rate changes?

I have tried Audirvana Origin on Windows 11 and Audirvana 3.5 on macOS Sequoia, unfortunately could not find a way to do this.

Thanks for the screenshot, but I thinking those configurations are for bridging devices.

In my case, the DAC204 is directly connected to the computer via USB.

And I have tried these configurations, they do not resolve the popping sound issue, unfortunately.

The SRC architecture is a bridge to the fundamental ESS chipset of the platform topology.

Please paste your debug information report here, that reflects your current configurations…

You will never eliminate the transient noise when changing sample-rates from DSD to PCM… you can minimize the level of the transient. However, you will always be at the mercy of the 1-bit master production.
