My first post here, hello to all.
When I play integer trough Audirvana as well as Bitperfect out of the USB from my older imac I get the ticking, clicking, popping sound which is discribed in some other threads on the web. If I disable integer and restart, the clicking is gone, but integer seems to be the way to go. I red about using a hub which would eliminate those sounds from hitting the DAC, since I didn't had a hub at hand, I've tried the usb of my keyboard, which normally is used for mouses, etc. Somehow the keyboard acts as a hub and the anoying sounds are gone. At the moment I still use a cheap usb cable, but I might upgrade it soon. A problem might be, the inferior usb line which runs from the computer to the keyboard and by that upgrading to any better cable would be of no use... Pure music advises to use no hub at all for best reproduction, to check out their software I downloaded the demo version, but somehow I can't output integer to my dac with it, it somehow doesn't recognise the dac integer, as well as hog, capability. In the logs of bitperfect and audivana it states that integer is active at the moment of playing and the dac is recognized as being capable of doing integer.
Should I buy a hub to solve this problem, or does someone has a better option for me...
I use a Tentlabs b-dac (great dac), OS is snowleopard, mac is from 2007/8
