Pops when streaming
Popping back with a vengeance, and tried it with 2 different dacs, 3 coaxial cables, 2 amps. I'll stick to CD and vinyl this streaming not worth the hassle it seems. Maybe in a few years!thanks for all the help, J 
Pops when streaming
So it seems to have reduced the popping, but it’s still happening. At this point I think I’m just going to return the Node2i. Doesn’t seem to play well with my system, and Bluesound help is not getting anywhere. The only other thing I can think of...

rocray (and lowrider57), Thanks I’ll try that and report back. At first I thought it was just one of my cables, but I’ve tried 4 Coax and they’ve all done the same. Also, thinking it might be the network, I streamed through the Node2i’s DAC direct... 
Pops when streaming
It happens often at the start of songs. streaming fromSpotifyTidalAmazon HDIt pops a lot more with some cables. I am trying to identify the source of the problem in case I need to return the Node2i.  
Streaming to outboard DACs - file format issues
To add to the confusion...Almost 99% of the Tidal streams, set to Hifi, will play. However, some songs will have pops along the way. I would typically assume this is related to a bad connection somewhere. I can replay the song, and there is a pop ... 
Streaming to outboard DACs - file format issues
both Tidal and Amazon have not provided any meaningful support - just generic answers about going into my settings. I've done that but still have issues. I've written PeachTree to see if they have any insight. Just want to make sure it's not my No... 
Streaming to outboard DACs - file format issues
Upon further research, it seems that the Dacit should be supporting data at 192. So something might be wrong with the Node2i that it is not sending high res files through?Or maybe I'm missing something about using external dacs and streamers.  
Streaming to outboard DACs - file format issues
fuzztone - your outboard dac? Seems that most dacs now support up to 192. The original peachtree doesn't. Since I'm streaming hifi from Tidal and Amazon HD, the 192 files just won't play. If I use the dac that's in the node2i, it plays any file I ... 
Streaming to outboard DACs - file format issues
fuzztone;I mostly want to make sure that when I buy another DAC, I'm not having the same issues (I have a dragonfly, but that's USB). It seems most dacs support 24/192, but my Peachtree Dacit doesn't.  
Streaming to outboard DACs - file format issues
mike_in_nc; I myself agree and tend to find that the sound qualities of the DAC (or speakers, amp, etc.) will make a bigger impact on how I enjoy my music. The resolution is nice but I doubt my ears can hear a difference on my system (I’ve blind t... 
Streaming to outboard DACs - file format issues
Just did a bit of research on the Peachtree Audio Dacit originial - it seems that it can only support 24/96 via digital inputs (optical can do 24/192). Could this be the issue? the DAC itself? 
Streaming to outboard DACs - file format issues
audiotroy; So all coaxial out is limited to 24/192? What would be the best way to make use of external DACs when streaming hifi?I'll see if the files that won't play are higher res.Thanks.  
Streaming to outboard DACs - file format issues
With the Node2i analog out, every file plays. The problem seems to be when using Coax and external DACs. Thanks.
