Hi Jamie,
I use Synology DS Audio Station extensively, it's my go to Media Server/Player when all else fails. I have tested quite a lot of DAC's with it and remembered when I tested the Oppo BDP105 that I have no problems with.

So I tested it again today and had the following findings

DS-AudioStation >> Oppo USB In (USB Speakers Selected). I managed to playback WAV, AIFF & FLAC files from 44.1kHz to 192Khz. No a single pop or problem.

DS-AudioStation >> Oppo DNLA Renderer. The same files performed without a pop during playback. Start of playback was slower (in some cases 5 secs before it picked up.

Raspberry Pi & Volumio >> Oppo USB In. Limited testing but 1 or 2 pops in 3-4 tracks.

If you could change one end of your problem with something else or another unit (thinking aloud you may have a faulty bit [Synology or Oppo]. Got any mates with some stuff you can test ?

Other notes
-The Oppo Unit is not the same one that I tested before
-Works with Synology DS214play OK too
-Nothing else plugged into other USB port of Synology

You will find attached screenshots of hardware/firmware/etc. of DS & Oppo.

Maybe the FLAC files that you have are different to mine. Are they compressed ? Can you upload one that you have problems with somewhere ?

Try the file Test192.zip on your system.
