Er, I would not phrase it this way.
Sean, knower of all engineering on TP and Squeezeboxen, says you should

I like Naim gear. They have an idea how HiFi should sound and they make

Thanks for the info Walt. After further testing, I can conclude that the
popping definitely goes away if I turn brightness to 0 (no display)
while playing. This is so for AES, coax and toslink. There is no
popping if the DCC2 is slaved to the Transporter.

With fw40 I no longer have popping issues.
