I have new firmware coming out for the Premier DAC hopefully this week that should help address this. I had one other person with this issue and as a beta tester they reported it fixed it. Once posted, I’ll let you know here.
It’s a tricky problem to solve because it seems to be variable and server-dependent. On my desk I had two computers running what should have been the same software, one did it (1 out of 15 times), the other did not.
As a quick test if you don’t mind. Can you go into the menu and set the digital filtering to “passthrough” to see if the ticks go away?
