Pops and clicks when changing tracks on USB

[g3rain1]

The ultra is generating pops and clicks sometimes when I change the track, it could be a sample rate thing. I have the fade in fade out effects turned on which says it should eliminate that, how it doesn't seem to. I'm connected over USB.

Hi @g3rain1
My Ultra is connected via USB Out to my external DAC. No pop and clicks changing tracks. I listen to albums, not playlists.
I have fade in / fade out off.

 

[g3rain1]

Yeah, it doesn't seem to happen within an album. But when I change to something else it does.

Leans towards it being a sample rate changing thing.

Well, actually it's the dac doing that on sample rate changes, not the ultra per se.
The wiim fade in/out attempts to mitigate this issue, but doesn't guarantee it.

Guess you need to wait for fixed sample rate over usb (assuming it's coming) to prevent this with your dac.

I have clicks when using coaxial connection to amp. It is pretty annoying, it can happens all the time, every hour

With optical it works good, so I am using optical.

Does anybody know what is the issue here?

Are you using USB as a source?

Nope, i am using tidal.

It happens when listening music using coaxial connection.

If I am using optical instead of coaxial everything works perfect.

That's a completely different topic then, better handled in a separate thread.

But as a side note, I don't understand why you mean by using Tidal using a coaxial connection. Are you using an external DAC connected through coaxial out? If the problem is with Tidal only?

You're best of starting your own thread with all the details.

I am using Audiolab 7000a connected via coaxial to wiim ultra and to tv through hdmi. It happens everywhere, when I am using hdmi when watching tv and when streaming music

The Audiolab might not just cope with the coaxial output resolution you set or the coax cable isn't up to it.

I used max possible resolution 192/24.
looks like audiolab is capable of this resolution via coaxial connection. Do you think issue can be on cable side ?

 

[harkpabst]

Is coaxial cable not capable of it?

The WiiM Ultra is surely capable of it, but that doesn't mean your cable and your DAC are.
