@FiiO I also experience the same behavior with Tidal.  I have not tried Qobuz.  I am using coax out to a Schiit Modi 2 Multibit.  It does not make a difference whether playing tracks offline or streaming through WiFi.   Please address. Thx

Thanks @PoochZag, I think you're correct.  Based upon the pictures a few pages back, I would not expect to see a silver/cherry configuration.  I will edit my previous post to avoid confusion.
