Thanks for the reply. The issue is random and minutes can go by without any crackle. I'll try again with either YouTube or Tidal. When crackling occurs it's never in the same place.
I'll also try my iPhone connected via CCK and USB, but my iPhone 7 doesn't work with my Starting Point Systems DAC 3 even with a powered hub.
If it is 'random' then it is probably due to temporary pauses in the music stream coming from the PC.
Many users have experienced similar with phones, and sometimes with Pcs and other music sources.
The pause is usually caused by the Pc (or phone) settings giving priority to a screen update, or other internal process.
If the problem suddenly appears, it can be due to an android or windows update overwriting the user settings that were working well before.
