SACD iso and DSD noise when stopping or closing music player

I've had this issue with two DACS and ASIO playback of DSD files (SMSL SU-9 and my current Gustard x26 Pro). When I stop playback or close Jriver/Foobar, I get a pretty loud indescribable noise out of both of my speakers. I have to turn off the DAC to stop it. I can resolve this by sending DSD via DOP, but I would like to think there is a solution to this issue. I've tried different USB cables, PCIE cards, etc. and nothing clears this up. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Windows 11 / JRiver or Foobar / ASIO-USB / Gustard x26 Pro / AVA Vision SET 120 power amplifier / Elac Carina speakers

I have no idea about your path because you are talking a language I don’t understand. It looks like you are feeding your amp directly from your DAC. The amp goes on last and off first. And whatever is feeding your amp should be set at zero volume on turn off and turn on.

DSD Native makes similar noise intertrack via direct play on a Topping M50. Maybe it’s a a Shenzehn thing as it does not occur in my US DAC. DoP does indeed bypass it. I can't really hear a difference after cursory comparison.

The manic side of me want to figure these things out, but I should probably just move on with this one unless someone else has an suggestion.

Just in case make sure you download the drivers from the DAC website, don't use generic Windows drivers.
