I changed it back to flac24, rebooted the MiND, restarted MinimServer, and the clicks went away. I listened for over an hour with no clicks. This leads me to believe that varying bit depths from track to track may have a negative effect on the MiND. I'd need to repeat this several times to know for sure, and I'm not that curious at this point -- I'd rather just listen to music.

Last year I did an extensive audition of the following streamers in my home environment:

* Aurender S10 (not a streamer per se)
* PS Audio PWD
* Naim NDX
* Naim ND5xs
* Linn Akurate DS
* Logitech touch
* Moon Mind

Of all the streamers, the least reliable (by far) was the Moon Mind. Never got it to work correctly for more than a few hours..
YMMV of course.. just my 2c.
It felt like an alpha product, abandoned by development.
The PS Audio PWD couldn't do gapless - a joke..
