Usbridge signature - crackling noise after latest ropieee update

Audio Gear Talk Allo
1

Hi folks
I have a couple of USBridge signature which I am using with Ropiee
After the latest update I keep hearing some static/crackling noise when the music is playing. These are totally random, not related to a specific format or dynamic peak,
I tested both my Allos with different DACs:
Violectric 380
SMSL DO 400
Teac UD 507

These noises can be heard especially on Vio and SMSL while more rarely with the Teac.

Has anyone experienced anything like this?
Is there a way to roll back to previous Ropiee releases?

Cheers
Ale

Hi Alessandro,
You’re referring to the 2025.04.0 release, right? I’ve been listening to ARC in the car mostly recently. Now however I’m listening to the USBridge Signature system with an older Mytek Brooklyn DAC but I’m still on 2025.02 release. Think I’ll wait on the installing .04 for now.
I’ll follow this thread and see if Harry weighs in.

Hi John, my issue started when I upgraded to 2025.02
Unfortunately I don’t recall which version I was using before that…it’s been a while since I made an update
