Theo,Lynx is definitely a solution - if you can live with XLR output to say the Benchmark DAC1 (as I had before, that was good and so stable and absolutely hassle free) and do not fancy i2s (like I do now to feed the Buffalo32S). On the other hand, once you go Buffalo32s you only need 16/44.1 since it does upsampling and reclocking anyway, so there will not be a problem. I am intending though to build my own solution based on ESS 9018 chip later that year (8ch dual mono configuration) so I've got to find a solution to this, but fortunately that's still far enough away ;-)
Well, my "blaming" PCI latency is in no way scientific or based on any facts yet, just a gut feeling - my metallics occur whenever I start a track (when cPlay set to SRC @ 145.68db and 192.0), it's either there or it isn't, or maybe it also starts with glitches or dropouts - I just have to restart the specific track, it either reoccurs or is gone, no pattern foreseeable. I'm just guessing, but looks to me as if processor's output and soundcard input are not in sync, and that as far as I understand it can only be driver or something "on the way", during transport, i.e. PCI and its latency I guess. As I said, just a gut feeling, haven't had the time (and need due to 16/44.1) yet to really check, one would need to simply try for some time with a setting other than 128. However, my metallic issue was definitely introduced with Juli@ and its driver, everything else has been there and unchanged before and has worked perfectly stable and without any glitches or dropouts or even any distortions noticable.
And yes, I have a SSD only.
Cheers
Robert
