Hi all, I'm using a Thinkpad to an iBasso D4 (via USB) and then on to a pair of Westone UM3X IEMs. I've mostly running Rhapsody on the Thinkpad.
I've noticed that I sometimes hear a clicking noise when listening to music via the USB DAC, but not via the phone out.
I don't believe the clicks are in the source -- my first thought was the the USB DAC + UM3X was revealing imperfections in the source, but now I don't believe that's the case.
Is such 'clicking' a typical problem with USB DACs?
