I notice a staticky click before a track plays when changing to and from DSD to anything that is not DSD and sometimes between DSD tracks consecutively. I have tried this with DSD Over PCM 1.0 and 1.1 with same static.
I am still not sure if there is a better sound if I just use None: Convert to PCM … which seems to sound a bit warmer.
Solution re sound warm: DSD does not use EQ.
Sometimes it is quite loud…not enough to ruin speakers but a very distinct staticky interferance sound for a second or so.
This is not a terrible thing but reported in the interest of making /audirvana extremely more wonderful and to allow perfectionists to use it.
Still fantastic sound when listening to the music.
Regards
Phil
