Clock Issue

the most common issue with ability to lock on securely between dac and source is due to misalignment of clock rates. For best performance good dacs can have a narrow lock range of perhaps 200 ppm or less. If this is exceeded due to poor clock source stability, thermal, or other reasons, then you have interruptions. If your dac performs without issues when set to the 'wide' clocking range, then this will be the issue.

HiFiWorld had tested Mac Mini digital outputs and found that the older models were 'poor' compared to the latest generation.

I am posting in the general sense as I have no idea what your settings and setup are.
