Roon DSD ignorance - advice needed

[andybob (Andrew Cox)]

Hi Paul,
If you are looking at Native DSD rather than DoP then DietPi has just been patched to implement the fix in ALSA for the “popping” problem:

Loud 'pop' noise beginning new track DSD Native [ALSA fix in 4.10 kernel, DietPi Patch]

Experiencing loud ‘pop’ noise at the beginning of the first track in an album or playlist when using DSD Native. DoP is fine. Upsampling from PCM 44.1/16 to DSD128 using Roon 1.3 DSP Engine DAC is a PS Audio NuWave DSD connected via USB from a RPi3 DietPi 143 Roon Bridge v1.0 build 64 Roon Core 1.3 (200) Windows 10. Only happens at the beginning of a new album or playlist. No detectable ‘pop’, ‘click’ between tracks or at the end of album or playlist. Not a deal breaker, DoP works flawless…
