Hi Garrett I take it from what you're saying that you have the same clicks problem with HDMI as well - is that correct? If so, is that only at high bit rates, as I don't think I have this problem, but then most of my music is sd rather than hd, so it may be I need to listen more. I was a bit confused because you then say that you think it may be an issue with the UAC 2.0 (which won't of course affect HDMI). btw - which Pi firmware are you running?
