How is this powered ? From the Pi or using a dedicated supply ? (If the former you probably need the latter...a powered USB hub sized for the hdd would be advised)

What USB DAC or HAT are you using ?

Put a powered USB hub between the Pi and the USB DAC and see what that brings.

I am using a 24v/2.5a power supply to the pi2aes hat which powers the pi as well, is this still not enough current? I will try the powered hub if so

2.5a is not even enough to power a Pi4 (requires minimum 3.0a) let alone all the other items!. No wonder things lag and glitch.

I would recommend removing the AES hat if its not being used (your Pi will run much cooler too) and getting the official Pi4 power supply and a powered USB hub.

Most Hard Drives quote their average power draw but start up and seek operations can draw much more current. A separate supply for your current Hard Drive will be more useful than replacing it with an SSD.
