  1. it looks like I found a mitigation measure for clicking/ticking. Also many other seem to have the same problems: http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?t=5956&page=4 I found a (partly satisfying) solution when settin KS to 16bit. Clicking is only when playing 24/32 bit. It doesn't matter what resolution the music has (16bit/24bit) =>but that means I loose resolution when playing 24bit music. Hope that helps. Any idea what could be the reason?
  2. I just got the new EVO (and Hiface before) and there is still the same clicking between tracks. I tested the following configuration and slowly loose confidence that M2Tech will be able to solve it. They replied that it may come from some players or PC types, but I tested any configuration and still clicking: Test Summary/Failure description Symptom: Clicking when changing tracks (not within the track) only with KS& ASIO (not DS directsound) Tested configurations: Netbook (Windows 7 Starter, Dell Mini Inspiron 1012, Atom N450, 1.66GHz) PC Desktop (XP Pro, Quadcore 4x3.4GHz) Hiface / EVO (no difference in regard of clicking) Hiface driver 1.0.3.140 & 1.0.3.141 (no big difference in regard of clicking) Sample rates/resolution 44.1, 48, 96kHz, 16, 24, 32 bit (no difference in regard of clicking) Mode: KS kernel streaming & ASIO (no difference in regard of clicking), DS direct sound worked fine Foobar 1.0.2.1 & 1.0.3 , Media Monkey (no difference in regard of clicking) Buffer length: 50ms....3000ms (no difference in regard of clicking) DAC1: Cambridge DAC Magic II DAC2: Harman Kardon AVR (no difference in regard of clicking via Hiface, direct to PC>DAC works) 1) Clicking: Netbook > Foobar > KS_Hiface > coax > DAC1 2) Clicking: Netbook > Foobar > ASIO_Hiface > coax > DAC1 3) Clicking: Netbook > Mediamonkey > ASIO_Hiface > coax > DAC1 4) OK: Netbook > Foobar > DS_Hiface > coax > DAC1 5) OK: Netbook > Foobar > KS_DACMagic direct > coax > DAC1 6) Clicking: Netbook > Foobar > KS_Hiface > coax > DAC2 7) Clicking: PC > Foobar > KS_Hiface > coax > DAC1 I think I tried almost any combination and replaced any component in the chain, so definitely the problem results from Hiface / EVO. No other device (Roland Cakewalk UA 25EX, Behringer UCA 202, Cakewalk UA 1G, M-Audio Transit USB, ...) I tested till now showed that effect (all worked OK), so please try to fix that issue. In case you like me to test any configuration I did not test please let me know. Littlesloth
  3. Hi Steve, "changing songs" means either forwarding to the next song or automatically when one song ends and the next begins in a playlist Clicking only appears in those cases. Not during playin a song only when forwarding... Maybe anyone did encounter "clicking" and solved it?! How? Regards, Littlesloth
  4. Hey Steve, thank you for your response. As you can see in my list of test configurations I already tested Windows 7 and XP aswell as a Netbook and a QuadCore PC. What versions of software/driver do you use? And please note that the clicking is only when switching songs not while playing one. Cheers, Littlesloth

  6. Just returned my Hiface! Used Windows 7 32bit, Netbook Dell 1012, Foobar 1.021 with KS plugin > Hiface coax 1.0.3 > Cambridge DAC Magic II. I read that clicking was assumed to be solved, but it isn't! Everytime I manually switch songs I can hear it clicking. This happens only with KS and ASIO. With DS (direct sound) there is no problem. But, did I buy Hiface to use DS?! No! M2Tech told me to use longer latency, but this has a new side effect: when switching songs you have to wait the latency time: meaning, in case you set 2s it takes 2s to switch to the next song. I have no idea whether it is a SW or HW problem, but it is annoying. I tried to set Foobar's crossfader to smoothen transitions between the songs, but still clicking. I am not sure if WASAPI mode helped, because I had problems using it. So, any ideas? I really like the Hiface, but please improve that clicking thing! cheers, Martin
