Hello @Nick_Triano,

I am so sorry we’ve been unresponsive until today - please, accept my sincere apology :pray:

Thank you for taking the time to share all the details about your setup and for letting us know of the issue you’ve ran into. I was wondering, is this “popping” still happening? Does it happen on hyour Schiit Modi MB if you stream directly from TIDAL/Qobuz?

We’re hoping to help get this sorted out (albeit this late…)

The Schiit Multibit DACs will make a small click when you change bit rate. The is a relay I think changing the filter.

The way to stop it is to get Roon to fix your sample rate to one rate.
