SOtM SMS-200

[Rama]

Are you hearing these pops and clicks during playback or just when connected? If it is during playback, what software do you use?

I am hearing it during music playback, SOtM is set as a DLNA device using the Melco N1A as a NAS. Control point is Kazoo on my Laptop.

As an experiment, you could try running your Melco N1A direct to the Devialet via USB.  If this works without the clicks, it would at least help narrow down where the issue is.  Plus, it might be a click free workable solution while you wait for software glitches to be sorted out.  If the Melco direct also suffers from the clicks, then at least it eliminates the sMS-200 as being the issue.

Thanks @Confused the USB connection is working fine via the Melco N1A to the D440 Pro (CI), no pops and clicks. My best guess is that since the SOtM-200 Ultra has a sCLK-EX clock it is somehow not able to synchronise with the clock on the Core Infinity board. Somewhere there is a conflict between the two clocks.

Update: Spoke too soon, can still hear some clicks even with the Melco N1A USB. Definitely an issue Devialet will have to look at, although the pops and clicks are not as frequent.
