Popping sound when changing input or track - Powernode n330

Answered

Hi,

I just purchased (yesterday) a Powernode n330 and nearly every time I change a track or an input a 'popping' sound comes out of the speakers,  is this normal??

Worried it will damage my speakers
 
Thanks

    I'm also having this issue/problem/bug. Node --> BJC 1.8m coax S/PDIF --> Rega Elicit Mk5 Coax Input. (I also get this issue if I use an optical toslink cable with this setting).

    If I go from the Node to another "cheaper" dac (in this case an FX-Audio DAC-X6) then from the dac to the amp (via analogue), the popping/digital noise isn't as loud and seems shorter and doesn't happen as frequently when jumping to other tracks of different resolution.

    The Rega uses a Wolfson dac (16-24 bit up to 192kHz). The FX-Audio DAC-X6 uses the CS4398 and CS8416 in its DAC chipset (16 bit: Support 44.1 – 192 kHz / 24 bit: Support 44.1 – 96 kHz).

    Hi Tony W.

    I still have this issue. It says I have the BluOS Controller 3.20.5 build 1934 and Windows App: 3.20.5 BluOS 3.20.49 installed. Am I up to date? I just sent a Support Request as you requested via the Windows BluOS app.

    For me it's not that much of a deal since I only have Tidal on trial. I will stick with Spotify with which I don't have this issue.

    Thanks,
    Ben, aka tbof.

    Hi Tony, The popping sound is still present but not as loud as before the last firmware update.

    Thank you for your patience.

    Last I heard, QA, Development, and Engineering departments are still looking into it.

    We do apologize for the inconvenience.
