I'm having the same clicking popping between tracks with Dirac enabled. I have tried different settings with my Oppo 103 but no change. If I use preset 1 or 2 there is no clicking/popping. I called and emailed Emotiva about this issue a few months back. No replies to my emails and my phone calls did not provide much help. The Emotiva Tech stated that they were working on it but most likely the issue would not be corrected. For a $2500 processor from a company with the slogan "Rethink Hi-End" I'd think they would be more concerned about this issue.

So is a fix planned. This noise really screams low quality to my ears. You might try calling them Monday. I get nothing but silence between tracks. What firmware are you running? geebo, I see you have the 103. I'm curious as to your HDMI settings in the 103. I find it odd that some get the clicking/popping with Oppo players and some do not. If there was a specific setting that would alleviate the clicking/popping that'd be great. I tried bitstream and LPCM with no change. The XMC-1 has FW 3.1a and the 103 has the latest FW. Thanks! |

If I remember correctly (and I could be wrong), the problem is originating from the source used. The "fix" in the firmware was to increase the "muting" time from the time when source starts/selected. If the source is "popping" between tracks then there's likely nothing that can be done other than to have your source "mute" between tracks.
For the record: playing files from my computer does not cause popping. But, since the latest firmware, I've noticed that on certain tracks from either my computer or my Oppo just the slightest amount of the beginning of the first track played gets cut off. Not quite as bad as my ERC-1 that I used to use. It wasn't the case prior to the firmware update.

I get the clicks and pops from my oppo, my cable box, and my gaming systems. The only source I have that doesn't pop is my pc which I usr to stream music via jriver.

Awesome! Very detailed and will be most helpful. I'll check my settings when I get home. Thank you! |

What I'm finding odd is that some with Oppo players are getting the clicking/popping and others are not. That doesn't make sense IMO. It would be great if there was a specific setting(s) with either the XMC-1 or the Oppo players that would eliminate the clicking/popping issue. |

Mine does NOT pop, click or tick between tracks. The tracks that have strings of zeroes recorded in between them? Or the limited set of tracks that you are listening? I don't know why you intervene to any discussion when someone mentions the problem just to confuse people and pretend that your unit behaves somewhat differently, if it is known that it isn't... |

So now those that don't actually hear the pops/clicks/ticks that you hear, with their normal/regular listening material can't state as such? I don't know why you intervene when someone doesn't hear these pops/clicks/ticks except for when they are playing a test file which isn't a regular listening material. While I do have this situation while using the coax/toslink output of my ERC-1, I don't insist that others do hear what I'm experiencing. So THERE is no problem with him stating as such. |

You just can't seem to understand that some people do not listen to CDs full of test files. I noticed where Bill mentioned on another forum that he was listening to the BD of Van Morrison's Moondance in 5.1 and he was getting pops between tracks. I have NO DOUBT it's happening to him. I have the exact same BD and I get NO pops between tracks. Got it? Can you understand that? I don't get pops and he does. So what's different? That's what we're trying to figure out and you are NOT helping by bringing up some test file that most people I know never listen to. |

I will also add to my last posting, we WON'T be getting into an argument over this situation as HAS occurred in the past in other threads. So tolerance for any posts that aren't "civil" and "respectful" is quite low, and this applies to all Members that are contributors to this thread. |

You just can't seem to understand that some people do not listen to CDs full of test files. The ridiculous (and rude) "test file" argument is still here. I don't listen to CDs full test files too... As you would like to suggest. But I use them to test/verify problems if they allow to do it quick and easy way. Remember - some of my "test files" are just regular CDs... |

No one has disputed that you are hearing what you are hearing. You do continue to tell others what it is that you want them to believe that they should be hearing, though they are not. Your frustrations with the XMC-1 not with standing, this thread will not continue down this path, so I respectfully suggest you contact Emotiva Tech Support personally and voice your concerns. Thread is now closed.  |
