Pops when streaming


Hello, 

I just recently purchased a Node2i to stream in my system. I'm using the Coax out to feed my Peachtree Dacit into an NAD amp. I'm streaming via hifi not direct connection. 

I'm hearing some pops and snaps when I use Coax out, which are not there if I use the Streamer's own Dac. What's even more confusing is that certain cables pop and snap even more. I've contacted everyone with no help or suggestions as to what is happenning. 

What could be causing the pops ans cracks when streaming? Is this a known issue, related to network, cables, dacs, streamers?

Any help would be appreciated.

You need to go into the settings menu on your Node,go into "player". From there go to "audio". Scroll to the bottom of the page and turn "audio clock trim" off. That should do the trick.

I had the same exact issue. In some instances,the Nodes don't play well with the clocks on some DACs. I had no problems running mine with an older April Music DAC,or on older Schiit Bifrost. I purchased a used Wyred4sound DAC ,and that's when the issue showed up. It took me 2 days to figure out,and I even had the seller ready to take the DAC back.  I felt like such an idiot! 
Wow! It has to be a faulty Node. I'm shocked you're still having issues. I'm very sorry to hear that.
