OK so a little bit further experimentation may have fixed the issue (cross fingers). I thought about the order I turned the pi back on in with the dac. Seems the trick is ensuring the dac is turned on and is set to the usb input when the rpi gets turned on and moode starts. It is like the pi wasn't seeing the dac (or the dac wasn't picking up the signal from the pi). Either way that seems to have fixed the issue. Your call on the hot plug was what led me to think about the signal at power up. Thanks Tim.
Hopefully it doesn't randomly appear again.
