Hi,
I also tried different settings. In the case of Kernel streaming, nothing has any effect. For DSD, the crackle is still there. For ASIO, I was able to find settings where the crackle is not audible, unfortunately the sound is clearly worse.
It seems that the latest Matrix Saber MQA firmware is not working properly with kernel streaming for DSD files
It's a pity that the manufacturer didn't take a closer look at this streaming mode, especially since in the opinion of many kernel streaming is the best choice.
The original Matrix Saber MQA firmware didn't have these problems (cracks when starting DSD files), so in retrospect it wasn't worth flashing.
Now I have a problem because I have two bad choices: use a worse ASIO or forget the DSD format
Please share the original firmware: 2.4 MCU and v3.0 XMOS so I can go back to the software where this problem wasn't there
