Hi Antoine,
Thank you for your quick response. I send you the Debug info scan from today. I have investigated what could have an impact on these ticks. As far as I have experienced up till now they occur randomly. It is not dependent on file size, nor sample rate or sample frequency. I have played various albums in MP3 up till DSD512. Now I stream to the Chromecast Audio exclusively (not via BubbleUPnP). These high pitching ticks are only occurring while using Audirvana Studio in conjunction its new Direct Chromecast feature.
I happen to be an audible hyper sensitive as small imperfections and glitches are heard immediately by me. Maybe you can shed some light on possible solutions. I am loving the gapless playing in this Chromecast mode.
As you already know, my ‘no connection’ has been resolved by restarting my network amongst other checks.
Have a nice weekend, to all of you on Audirvana.com!
Kind regards, Erwin
