I agree. It's starting to sound <hah> like either a latency or buffer issue. If you see a "USB streaming mode" option anywhere, try using "safe". Originally, I couldn't use my X3 as DAC without god-awful amounts of noise/clicks on any setting other than safe Also, are you using a dedicated USB driver? The stock Windows installed driver could be causing issues where should i look for "usb streaming mode" ? If you installed a driver then there should be a control panel with it. You should find an entry in the Start menu or an icon should appear in your system tray (device may need to be plugged in for it to show)  From there you can click on the icon to get the options settings:  The pics from the Fiio control panel are pretty much identical to the Xmos panel for my D30. |

ok found it.
it was on safe mode already.
clicks are still present, but since i have adjusted the aiso sample rate, aiso is now working in exclusive mode.
so thats progress i guess. just need to isolate these clicks, may still be usb issue.

I get a similar click on my Shanling M2s if I use it in DAC mode. Shanling was able to confirm the issue, but could only reproduce it on certain PCs and it seemed like Hiby (the guys that actually wrote the firmware for it) didn't want to bother trying to fix it. (Thankfully Shanling is writing their own firmware now) I guess the standard troubleshooting would apply for you. Try different USB cables and ports. Check for any updated USB drivers. Try different buffer sizes/speeds. Oddly my M2s would play click free if I upscaled everything to DSD - maybe try and see if that helps. just swapped the usb from a usb3 socket to usb2 and its far better. maybe something is wrong with the usb3 socket or driver??? |

Where is the USB port you're using? I've read that many people have issues using USB ports on the PC's front panel (usually connected via umbilical). Apparently it's far better using the USB that are directly connected to the motherboard. I can't confirm this, I've been a laptop user for ages now.

I can't confirm this, I've been a laptop user for ages now. i only use the front ports for copying to and from usb sticks, and funnily enough i have had problems with those, in the past. all is good now though  |
