Just guesses, but maybe you could try toggling the 'digital output
always on' setting in Player SettingsAudio, or transcoding one of the
offending files to FLAC for comparison.

When I was using the optical out connection into my ROTEL pre/pro there
was a 'crack' or a 'pop' between tracks. Using this connection had a
better sound than the analog out of the SB, but not as good as the DAC
in the ADCOM CD player (HDCD!), so I didn't pursue it, and no longer
use the optical

I tried a bunch of tests, with unmodified SB3, with a different DAC,
with the clock off on the DAC and could not reproduce the problem.
Unfortunately (fortunately?), I have been unable to reproduce it with
my orignal setup either. It was not as dependable as I thought. I guess
I'm out of options

I made some changes to my DAC\Squeezebox recently - I now have
synchronous reclocking between the two. In general, this works well and
I'm very pleased with the results. However, with rips from some older
CDs I'm hearing crackling or static noise between the tracks. It's

Huh? Please explain...

WRT to the reclocking, I replaced the crystal with an XO3 clock from
tentlabs. This clock is connected to another clock (XO-DAC)on the DAC.
The tentlink connection keeps both clocks in sync.
The crackling appears after one tracks ends and before the next begins.
Usually, it will happen also on
My best guess would be that your clocks still aren't in sync... have you
compared the two clocks on a scope? It will be really obvious - if
they're not in sync, then one channel will show a steady waveform and
then other will be blurred or dancing all over the place.
That would certainly be
I don't have a scope but plan to get one fairly soon so can try then.
I doubt that the music is masking unsynched clocks. The auido quality
is the best I have ever heard. And it is only with particular CDs (and
very much a minority) that I hear the problem.
I do have an unmodified Squeezebox,
