Thanks very much for suggestions. Alas in my case this did not help. I played with all variant options in the MPD. Interestingly when I restart MPD nothing changes..the helicopter sound persists once it has started. If I reboot, however, all is golden (until, after a programme change, it fails again). So I almost doubt it is MPD, and I am a little skeptical it is even the DAC. If I unplug the USB dac and replug it in the problem also persists once it has started. Until reboot. Seems like something is getting initialized only on reboot not on mpd restart. What could that be?
if the USB dac did not sound so good I would chuck it in but it actually sounds extremely clean. I can't easily distinguish from an IQ Audio Dac. (which might be my limitation).
