I'm sure the cards are not at fault, they work in other players and files transfer without any problem (or noises).
It's interesting to hear that two of you are also experiencing the same thing. I contacted the Dealer who sold me my N5, and he reports that similar clicking/ticking sounds come from Fiio, iBasso, and Astell & Kern players. He says that it results from the type of encoding & playback software.
I'm not sure what muting relay is, but this seems like a hardware issue and not a software issue. The sound can sometimes be heard in the headphones, but I think it's microphonic and not actual sound being transmitted from the amplifier.
I remain open to the idea that this is a normal part of the player's operation, and if others are having similar experiences then maybe it's time for me just to chill out and enjoy the music
(though I'd love to hear Andykong's thoughts next time he stops by!)
