That is strange behaviour. Did you start using it while it was still scanning your library? It should have no trouble at all reading flac. I only get a hickup sometimes while decoding an iso in dst (compressed dsd) so flac 44 should be easy sailing. Sometimes, or should I say oftentimes, rushing in to using an app doesn't work. I get it with my laser too. I kill the app and restart and it works fine. Sometimes reinserting the usb helps too.
You can try using upsampling to fixed rate. 44 to 48 is no use, only makes it worse. The others won't really improve anything but just try it and see what you think. My logical and emotional preference is non oversampling but I don't think it sounds bad. But I'm not saying you should too. Just listen and compare it to real life (live) sound (if you can find a natural sounding recording without processing).
I tried it (hiby, exclusive hq USB mode) using the Kindle fire. It stuttered, played tracks at double speed, refused to play, etc. The only way I was able to stop the stuttering was to enable FIXED output sampling rate. Even then, 44.1 sampling just stuttered. Anything else (eg 48k, 88.2k, 96k, 176.4, 192k) plays just fine. So it seems that bit perfect just won't work..... the denefrips dac shows the selected sampling rate correctly, it just Messes up the sound. So my question with hiby is: does sampling at a multiple of 44.1 (eg 88.2) give me better quality with less artifact compared to upsampling flacs to 48k?
