Latest Roon build | Random small popping sounds moving DSP volume, and when selecting play & pause functions

I still get ‘random’ pops between tracks. Anyone else experience this?

I have tried Ropiee as endpoint, Rock, and Ubuntu/Bridge.

Curious to know if other users get pops between track skips, and small clicking on fast volume changes.

I have tried:

  • Many different end points, Ropiee, Ubuntu/Bridge, Direct to Rock
    (Next I will try Windows (Loathe) - to see if this helps)
  • Inserting a 4 sec delay for sampling rate changes, this is not the issue, as the pop can occur between tracks on the same album/sampling rates
  • Head room 1.5db just for good measure
  • Removed DSP volume, reverting to DAC volume

System has changed a little, but core hardware the same.

Convolution Filters (Below Digital 0db threshold)

This is not a clipping issue, providing convolution to confirm for support
-1.5db of headroom reduction is also applied inside Roon atm.
So signals are sitting about minimum 2.5db below digital max.
