That is all well and good… However, did you ever employ a processor intensive AU HRTF room virtualization plug-in and modulate PCMxxx to DSDxxx while making available a decent allocation of pre-load memory, as is the case of the playback scenario that @reddog1 is finding his noise condition?

Yeah, want to send me the cash to buy one?
Audirvana is working fine with my set-up, when I’m not using the aforementioned plugin.
When left to it’s own devices, there are no pops bangs or whistles when changing tracks, either with same sample rate or a change… or running the plugin it is ONLY when I use the Next button or click a new trac manually.
I think you didn’t quite understand what I wanted to write.
When you have a computer that you use for everything, other factors can influence problems with certain software.
I know. I was being sarcastic…

System Optimization and advanced computer settings, isolate Audirvana from low-level System background interruptions… If any System background operations were interfering in this playback scenario, these would be random… In this playback scenario, the precipitated noise anomaly is so consistently repeatable, as to be predictable through the user invocations, as has been consistently described:
Having said this… All bets are off if connected to a file sharing bit-torrent or other real-time sharing operation, running in the background…
No file sharing, or real time sharing going on.

I have tested with no internet connection whatsoever, no background apps running, issue remains.

Anyhow… If no reply to further assistance for a while, I’m in hospital for a ‘procedure’ , hopefully back in a week or so… be nice to each other…

Ok, so… Loud click only when using Waves ARS3 plug in… Audirvana only running on laptop, no background, no internet connection, no upsampling… without plug in, upsampling to DSD 64 or 128, other stuff running on laptop, no noise.
It’s definitely the Plug in, it doesn’t even save my presets.
Where does Audirvana save plugi in links? I have removed ARS3 from my laptop, but reference to it still shows in the processing list.
OK sorted that, removed all references waves plugins, will re-install and see if it’s helped.
No. In a word…
My system does not have this problem (you already know my system configuration)… It seems the i5 is struggling to handle the level of DSP and file management needed in that particular playback scenario.
Could be, but as it only occurs when manually clicking next track, I can live with it, as it’s something I rarely do.
Understand, but there’s no change when I minimise the load. For instance Audirvana is the only application running, there’s no up sampling, or anything else. I would have thought if load was the problem lessening it would solve it, if only temporarly. Also, I can upsample to 128DSD, with other plugins and there is no issue. You’re probably right, in that the ARS3 is quite proccessor intensive, though I don’t use head tracking at all.
C’est la vie…
I don’t use real-time control… it is off… I can’t make adjustments to it anyway when I process 352.8kHz files… I never use head-tracking… it is disabled. Once set I never change anything.
ABRS3 is a model of how the room responds to the playback of music through the speaker sets at the sweet-spot… It is calculating a lot of reflection taps in real-time… It 's not a simple EQ or a simple HRTF cross-feed process… ABRS3 operates more like a convolution reverb impulse response…
So, have given up on the complexity of ARS3, found Morphit, selected my headphones, and the correction applied sounds excellent. Also fun to hear proximity of what other headphones offer… But that’s just for play… The basic correction sounds really good, and no glitches on track selection, all good.

Some folks here have recommended and use CanOpener Studio by Goodhertz… it is not a virtualization…This plug-in does HRTF + EQ rather than target equalization/compenstation you find in Morphit …
And there is still the simplicity of 112db Redline Monitor v2.0.4 for HRTF…
