I also experienced a very loud popping sound at the start of the first track when using NOS 6.8uF 5% 30V Sprague HI-REL capacitors. After that, everything seemed fine until I powered off the DAC for a few hours.
Recently, I replaced the Sprague capacitors with 0.22uF Miflex ones, and the popping issue has completely disappeared. I'm not certain whether the change in capacitance value, age, or the quality of the capacitors is responsible for the improvement.
