Im guessing that the Soft Mute on the AK 4399 is not activated during track switching so you are hearing this click!

@Anaxilus - thanks, and I apologise for referring to you as 'analaxative' in another post.

Are you using optical out from your laptop? Just asking because the clicking only happens when I use optical and when switching track. But when I use coaxial out from my Fiio E10 no clicking noise. So I am assuming that Yikes is correct about your computer/laptop stopping the data stream between tracks

 

Hopefully this helps

Some players stop the data stream between tracks (and some form of clicking can result), some PC configurations also can cause this issue. About 10 years ago I had a wicked expensive Krell processor that lost lock (and therefore clicked obnoxiously) between every track. It ended badly.

 

As far as the Asgard having enough power for the LCD2 goes, when I tried them together power wasn't the issue. I ultimately preferred my HiFiMan HE5LE to the LCD2's.

I had hoped to post some impressions of the Bifrost by next week, but I just realised they use USPS for international shipping. Last time I used USPS for they took over 25 days just to leave the US borders. So far it has been a week.
 

"sigh"

You should try pricing International UPS or FedEx. You'll understand the use of USPS.

The brokerage fees the others charge are criminal. There is a class action lawsuit ongoing against UPS in Canada. Stick with USPS, the value for money they offer is very good by comparison.

I paid $5 USPS/Canada Post brokerage fee for my Asgard. A fellow Canadian from an other forum paid $138 for the same Asgard with UPS..... But it's true that he got his faster than me !! blink.gif

 

Avoid UPS and Fedex as much as you can.... In fact, I never deal with a company that doesn't allow me to choose the courrier...

Hey all,

 

Final update on USB: WE BEGIN SHIPPING TODAY!

 

Sorry for yelling, but it's a great relief to finally get these out the door. I expect a few will go today, many will go tomorrow, and all backorders will be cleared up next week. This also means the review units ship as well, so you can expect some pro opinions soon.

 

With respect to the clicking, that's simply the muting relay. It's completely normal. 

 

All the best,

Jason

I aways deal with USPS for international shipping, their rates are amazing.  Shipping time ranges from deathly fast(canada, 3 days), to excruciatingly slow 1.5 weeks to eastern Europe.

 

But UPS and Fed Ex stick it with really high fee's.  Most people seem to prefer USPS when I internationally ship.

Jason,

 

is this to prevent subsonics going thought during track switching?
