MacOS is not bit-perfect though. Like other desktop operating systems the audio stack resamples everything to whatever output rate is set in the sound settings regardless of the source.
MPD is outputting directly to ALSA on Moode which is sending data to the DAC at the same bit-depth/sample-rate as the source (if you're not enabling resampling in Moode's settings of course) and stops output when the source stops.
Thus one could argue that MPD/ALSA is the more "well behaved" platform as the source material is not being tampered with unfortunately this seems to be exposing these jitter issues with your speakers' DAC.
Do you get the same issues with resampling disabled?
I just tested the Digi+ optical output into a DX3Pro DAC and the issue is 100% repeatable there too. So its nothing to do with my DAC.
Ill do some tests with resampling disabled now and post results.
