Poor Sound Quality when Playing AAC/MP3 - Crack/Pops

[Mikael_Ollars]

Build 334: AAC 24bit conversion - audio artefacts [Resolved B339]

Build: 334 Core: On QNAP NAS Endpoint: Squeezebox Transporter Symptom: I’ve been listening to some of TIDAL’s AAC output which goes through Roon’s new 24bit conversion. There are some odd audio playback artefacts - at higher peak levels within the track it sounds like a sort of clipping is introduced - a highish frequency ‘crispy’, ‘speckly’ sound overlaying the track. FLAC is unaffected. I’ve tried somelocal mp3 as well and can’t detect any problems there.
