I heard several times loud static while playing DSD files thru Daphile. Dumped it and moved over to foobar2000 and still I heard the static few times, not just as often. This evening I visited our DaveR. We were listening to a few numbers on his system (very good) and heard the same static on DSD from foobar2000. For little over a week I'm using only AP-Linux, not static issues at all.
This was the first time I have heard the static, but it was clearly there. To clarify, the music doesn't have static, all you get is static when whatever happens happens. I suspect the DAC looses sync. I'm not familiar with the DSD protocol, but would expect it would incorporate a means to regain sync in the event it was lost. Assuming this is true, it would be Foobar that goes into the weeds and does not get back out. I haven't done any research yet to see if this is a known issue to the SACD plug-in author and if there is a fix.
