Anyone else experiencing crackling sounds during playback sometimes? Seriously difficult to diagnose the cause but I figured I would ask here to see if the problem could be with the Amarra client or if it is something else in the chain.
Hey Bitsir,
When I’ve had this behavior w/Amarra or other audiophile player apps, it’s usually because either the host is “busy” doing too many other tasks, or the sample rate playing back exceeds the abilities of the system as a whole; host computer + DAC. For instance, my ancient host+ USB DAC (Mytek Brooklyn) has trouble w/DXD (8x) native file playback, but it can deal with an 8x MQA file no problem.
