In the end, after some consultation, the main source of the problems appeared to be the quality, or lack thereof, of the USB cable! I was informed that high quality audio grade USB cables from some manufacturers just did not perform well on DSD and a cheapo computer grade cable saved the day.

Hi, thanks beckphotonik, that is very interesting indeed. I am using an 'audio-grade' USB cable between the Melco and DAC (Revelation Audio Labs Prophecy Dual Conduit USB Digital Link). I have a Kimber Silver USB and some computer-grade USB cables, as well, and I will test them when I get a chance.

Melco HA-N1ZH60 Mk1 (MinimServer 2) --> network --> AURALiC ARIES G2 --> Lightning Link (WWPS7 hdmi) --> AURALiC VEGA G2 with AURALiC LEO GX Master Clock --> XLR --> Mark Levinson No. 523 --> RCA --> JL Audio E-Sub e110 (active crossover @ 100 Hz) --> RCA --> Bryston 4B3 (Cubed) --> Magnepan .7
