Hi,
i set up my 4ch hifiberry amp, nice sound, thanks to B&O !
however i have some static clicks / pops during every track change which is horrible ! does not happen with BT !
what can i do ? any magic i can apply to my sigma setup ? i used a simple 2 ch setup.
Hi,
this requires new DSP profiles. We're planning to upgrade the Beocreate image with new profiles soon.
There is a new version available, that still seems to have some issues here with it. Can you try if this works for you:

thanks Daniel, i will wait till all issues are solved & accept the pops till then..
I have this problem too. I found this online, not sure if it will be of use to anybody.
Question: Some iFi and non-iFi customers have asked – Why during DSD playback is there a “pop” sound?
Short (layman) answer: This is an inherent characteristic of DSD that is unavoidable.
Long (technical) answer: Please see below.
1. PCM can produce a true zero (silence) output in an instant. When the data stream stops, the DAC is then reset to “zero” for PCM.
2. As DSD only records the difference in level between each sample and during track changes (or a switch from PCM to DSD), the Player no longer sends DoP markers.
3. As a result, the DSD’s output levels (via DSD-DoP) of the DAC output can ‘stick’ at any possible level (almost anything but rarely zero) between the two extremes.
4. When the next song commences, the DAC suddenly receives a new DAC value (usually this new value is zero), which has no relevance to the previous sample- hence the ‘pop’.
5. The only way to reduce this ‘pop’ is to run a small period of silence during these changes. In other words, the playback software must handle this correctly and play a short silence before it stops sending DoP markers.
6. For example: JRiver v19 or higher has this under WASAPI hence no ‘pop’ between changes.
7. Another example: there is no pop when using DSD (native) under JRiver.
8. Onkyo HF Player doesn’t have this feature and hence the pop sound.
