Whenever there is audio being played by the system, the outcome would be always accompany with regular, stable, 5 to 6 times per second breaks. Both the system sound and songs from media player failed. One of my USB DAC works under Asynchronous Mode (USB device host clock), the other one works under Synchronous Mode (Motherboard host clock).
