Help wanted diagnosing sound issue

RThis is a strange one and I don’t know where to run with it.
It’s not a drop out, more like s tape with slight damage that the sound warbles a little.

It’s new, intermittent, happened twice this afternoon on Tidal and local files.

Roon Core on NUC. Ethernet over powerline to Raspberry Pi with dietpi, USB to Chord Hugo TT. Using HQP when it occurred. Music stored in NAS connected directly to network.

I was trying the new xtr filter in HQP.

I’ll go back to closed form to see if this is the issue, but I’m wondering what may be causing this artefact, e,g, could it be a network issue or would this just be drop-outs?

Has anyone had a similar experience?
