Some DACs handle it in hardware. Some software can fix it too......

Some DACs actually mute their outputs when switching format or sample rate to avoid pops. Some even use old school muting relays like the Luxman DA-06 I once owned. The relay clicking was a little annoying and that DAC didn't sound all that great anyway.
Additionally, many software players include a feature to roll a few milliseconds of silence between tracks to avoid pops while the DAC gets it's bearings to handle a new format/sample rate.
Roon calls it Resync Delay. Others call it something else.
Glad you got it sorted out.
