[PROBLEM] Smsl D300 Dac - loud "pop" noise before playing the first song

[Sehnsucht]

Hello,

yesterday I connected my new Smsl D300 dac via usb to the RPI4 where moOde 7.6.1 is installed and only when I play the first song after switching on before the music is played do I hear a loud "pop" noise from the speakers; the only way not to hear this noise is to reduce the volume to zero from moOde, activate the first song and then after a second turn up the volume.

All subsequent songs are played correctly without any starting noise.

In the MPD configuration the parameters are the following:

Audio Output
Output device: SMSL USB AUDIO
Volume Type: Software
DSD Support Format:
Native DSD
Silence before stop: NO
TheSycon workaround: NO

It almost seems that the MPD performs a restart before playing the first song but this is just my feeling.


Thank you very much for helping

This might not be a MoOde/mpd problem. Have you ruled out this simply being what the DAC always does by connecting it to another pc, phone etc?    The Topping E30 DAC does this too (when turned on, when switching between bitrates etc).
