All tracks I suppose having the same resolution since it is rip from the same CD using same software. I am using HUGO TT DAC. The problem seems only happens after update the MELCO from 2.01 to 2.10.

Anyway, I will contact Melco and hopefully to hear something from them.

I tried this with WAV files and I am hearing the same as you: a nasty burst of static when the track changes.

I have also noticed that the very beginning of the track (a tiny fraction of a second) is cut off. This isn't noticeable unless the music starts right at the beginning of the track. This happens with WAV files, FLAC files and FLAC transcoded to WAV. I will report this to Melco and see what they say.

Edit: I tried playing the same file on the Hugo TT from Windows using foobar2000 and the start of the music was cut off. I think this puts the Melco in the clear and indicates that the problem is caused by the Hugo TT.

Edit 2: I tried a different USB DAC and the cut-off at the start didn't occur. This confirms that the cut-off problem is caused by the Hugo TT and isn't related to the Melco problem with static noise between tracks.
