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.

Hi Simon, the sound cut off issue when playing WAC file has been rectified with the latest firmware. It is not officially launch yet but I got a copy from Alan (Melco). I believed still a beta version.

I have been running this for a week now, no issues so far.

If anyone needs to fix this problem urgently, you may contact Melco to get an FW updates. Or else you can wait for its officially launch.
