Ethernet streaming and occasional white noise on Windows

[Confused]

The orange dot indicates that the input signal is loud enough to cause clipping, too loud in other words. The Devialet flashes the orange dot to indicate that it is clipping the maximum volume of the input signal to avoid damage or overload in the amp. You see it some times when a running a cartridge via the phono input with the cartridge max input level set too low in the Configurator. So what this tells us is that not only is the white noise is annoying, it is also really very loud!

For the record, I was using iTunes with the sound card GUI set to 16/44 for many hours last weekend, no issues at all, 10 minutes after switching to JRiver WASAPI, white noise, then white noise again after 10 minutes, I've mentioned similar before, but this pattern appears to be absolutely repeatable for me now.
