Alternatively, as suggested by Devialet, I run iTunes-PureMusic-firewire-Weiss-AES-EBU on my D800. In both configurations no noise, no crackling, no nothing. Let me say that I also use Dirac room correction but avoid any of the more fancy alternatives to iTunes such as Audirvana, etc. When I tried them in the past it was always a hassle besides of not playing gaplessly.
In my experience it helps very often to setup the OS anew once in a while (e.g. every 1 1/2 year) on a completely deleted HDD or SSD and also to install the applications from scratch. Even though this is a few hours work, it is worthwhile in terms of sonic, speed and practical behaviour of the Mac. Installing and uninstalling software accumulates bits and pieces of left-overs in the OS-library that should be removed.
Don't you want to give it a try?
