Eversolo S/PDIF output problem

[grgppsc]

Hi there,

I have DMP-A8 and now testing T8 (demo unit from my dealer), as digital streaming transports, feeding external DACs and I'm experiencing the following issue with both devices on S/PDIF (coaxial and optical) outputs:

- No track is playing exactly from the beginning, 1 or 2 seconds are missing and one of the DACs (RME ADI-2) has a glitch/clipping noise when the music starts or ends. It doesn't matter if I'm skipping tracks or let them play. The other external DAC is Chord Qutest...

USB or analog outputs from DMP-A8 works flawlessly and both Eversolo units have the latest firmware versions.

I've tried every possible setting from the menu, including the highest delay value (3000ms) with no result...

Is there anyone else who tried S/PDIF output on any other Eversolo DMP and has a clue on the matter?

Thanks!

PS: I also have Bluesound Node and Wiim Pro streamers that have no issues on S/PDIF with the same DACs and the same cables!

Update:

Listening T8 all this time, I've noticed that USB out has also the issue but in smaller amount. It seems that higher resolution files from Tidal (like 24bit/96khz-192khz) are more prone to this imprecise/unstable start...

One thing I forgot to mention is that everything I wrote in my first post involved "Tidal Connect" only. Switching to Eversolo app almost solved the problem but not entirely (maybe 95%).

A big positive though is the sound quality against the other, way cheaper streamers in my possession. Wiim's "fade out" option being the only thing I miss when skipping tracks...

Cheers!
