I plugged in 2 laptops, I switched one to the other when the DAC was on, then I was getting static, seemed like radio broadcasts but just when you get static.then I was getting clicks and pops throughout all the sources,
the only thing to remedy the situation was to leave the DAC playing,
I bought the DAC used, it had the static problem when I first bought it but then it went away, I recently switched the laptops and that was when it started.
sounds like static clicks, almost like a vinyl record. thankfully it is gone now after having the dac on for awhile, I tried rebooting, tried shutting it on and off, not sure but it seemed to have cured itself after playing for about an hour after I stopped fiddling around with it.
maybe it is gremlins, or something, very strange.

Install Latency Mon and see if your latencies are so high as to prevent audio streaming smoothly. It'll tell you. Do not start immediately after launch, wait 30s. I get 300uS or below. 5000 to 10000 uS peaks will definitely cause interruptions.
If Latency is too high. start by disabling wireless, then networks to see if normality is restored.
Increase buffers in your player and or your dac's control panel.
Clean up your wiring!
Thanks for your advice. It seemed like the network was being accessed without permission. Heavy loads on the processor for reasons I can only speculate at the moment. I was switching between a MacOSX and a Linux system when the issue started. It seems to be fine now.
Maybe the OCXO had to warm up?
not sure, because the clock warms up for exact mode,it has to get to a certain temperature for that, you could be right but it doesn't seem like it should behave like that.
it could be it. I just think this DAC is very delicate and sensitive.
it does sound great though. just pretty sensitive I gather.
