I just received a HR Desktop AMP/DAC. About every 25 seconds it skips. I get the same results in Rhapsody and J. River Media Center. I have increased the buffer size to the max setting. I have increased the priority of the App. I have disabled AMD Quit and Cool. This is a newly staged machine with just my media players on it. I don't have anti-virus installed. There is no sound card in the machine. I don't have any external USB Hard drives on. The clicks are not associated with CPU usage. I've tried Direct Sound and Wave Out. I've changed USB cables. Nothing resolves this problem or makes it better.
This is my first USB DAC, and I have to admit I'm really frustrated and have wasted much time. I'm about to save myself two grand and return it. Yes - I realize this is the technology not the DAC itself.
Can anyone think of anything else? Will a Coaxial or Toslink connection resolve this problem, or they as quirky as USB? I don't have the proper cables and I'm almost out of patience.
