In the interests of additional data…I’m only getting very faint pops when tracks naturally begin (ie, not when skipping tracks manually). Tested with both DSD bitstreaming and with Roon converting to PCM first - same faint pops.
For me, the faint pops take place 1 second into the new track. There’s silence for 1 second, then faint pop, then music plays. Interestingly, I notice that when skipping tracks manually, the track doesn’t play that initial 1 second silence…it hops straight through it to 00:02 and the music starts playing almost instantly (without the pop).
Note, the pops I’m hearing are a total non-issue as they’re so faint, but I suspect my DAC (DiDiT DAC212) is probably smoothing things out as it’s good like that.
