I expect the OP is referring to Add Delay/Silence at Start of Tracks.
Note that
1) the issue refers to bit rate changes between tracks, the circumstance Al has already asked about here.
2) the deafening silence from the MPD maintainer and the usual responders to MPD issues suggests that this issue is going nowhere.
The OP hasn't told us what the actual DAC is in his setup. The HiFiBerrry Digi2 Plus isn't a DAC; it merely converts the PCM parallel-bit transfers to S/PDIF serial-bit streams. There's an interesting note on Limitations in the Wikipedia article on S/PDIF which comes into play here. I have no experience with S/PDIF equipment so can't comment further.
It would still seem useful for us to example one of the OPs albums for any oddities, but that's on him.
Regards,
Kent
