Day off work today and much extensive listening. I was using JRiver WASAPI with everything set to 16/44 to avoid white noise. But White noise came regularly after a couple of hours, and often repeated even after a full reboot. Gave up and switched to iTunes, which is supposed to be bit perfect if you set everything to 16/44. I don't think it sounds quite as good as JRiver WASAPI, but ran without white noise for 4 hours. Interestingly, I kept the WASAPI bit perfect setting in the AIR GUI when running iTunes, so it looks like the issue is caused when the actual music player is feeding WASAPI. Very odd, as I still got maybe two hours before any issues with JRiver WASAPI.
