Collecting bugs of 2nd gen element series products

[Mike_2541]

I finally got some time to record a sample of the ticking issue with the Element I2. This is playing back the first few seconds of "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" by Steely Dan. I start playing and restart the track after 5 seconds. At the beginning of the track, just as the music comes in, you can hear a faint tick. I'm using Roon and playing a FLAC that I ripped myself. I compared this to the exact same track playing back over a mini-i Pro 3. As you can hear, no tick. You can ignore the mouse clicks.

The degree of the tick in the I2 varies. Sometimes it's not noticeable. Sometimes it's very disruptive.
