This is an issue that I encountered with both 6.6.0 and 6.7.0. Occasionally I get static when I change to a track with a different sampling rate than the previous playing track. I’m using the M2Tech Hi2Face Evo as a USB output device. So is the HiFace to blame, or is it software?

Does the issue occur when you swap in a different DAC?

I have the same issue with my office setup. My USB DAC is a Klipsch Powergate. It does not occur on my living room setup that has a HiFiBerry DAC+ Pro. Both systems are accessing the same music files

It’s likely the dac having an issue locking onto the new frequency, once it syncs in you get music instead of static. Many dacs mute during that kind of transition for just that reason. You can work around it by resampling everything to one value (e.g. 24/192 or whatever) in the mpd settings and maybe keep an eye out for a deal on a new dac.
