Gapless audio not gapless

Origin
1

Using the trial for now. I’m trying to migrate from using iTunes to play music on my HTPC, and right now Audirvana seems to work well, except for one issue: There is a slight hiccup with gapless play. It is not seamless transition between tracks, which is odd since I’ve never had this issue with any of the other audio programs I’ve used before.

I’ve tried playing with the amount of buffer memory, and this seems to have helped a bit, but the interruption is still there, most noticeable on Pink Floyd albums.

If I can find a solution to this issue, then I think this will be my go-to software for audio. Everything else seems to work fine.

Alright, I’ve been battling with this for over a week, trying to figure it out. It doesn’t matter if I use WASAPI, ASIO, or KS (KS makes it worse, as it adds a noise when switching tracks). I don’t understand this. Itunes works perfectly, JRMC works perfectly, WMP works perfectly. How is this possible?

I’ve uploaded short video of the issue. It’s recorded from my iphone so audio is bad, but it illustrates the situation.
