Loxjie A40 popping USB input (No support from Hi-fi Express or Loxjie..)

[Ttimms]

Hi all, I am experiencing frequent popping using the USB input of my Loxjie A40 that I purchased from Hi-fi Express a few months ago. I've tried my laptop USB output (with and without the USB driver from the Loxjie website), my TV USB output and iPad to USB output and they all have the same problem. I've purchased another Loxjie A40 from Amazon to test and it too had popping. I've emailed Hi-fi express and Loxjie themselves and I've received no response. I'm not sure what to do. Can anyone help?

Hi @Ttimms!

If you're on Windows, then here's how to reduce pop noises on DACs with Xmos USB bridges:

XMOS driver settings for no cutoff/delay

I was contemplating on creating a "tutorial" of sorts for all XMOS drivers on devices that have a cutoff -- latency between the start of a sound and the dac "reacting" and actually playing said sound... So here it is: XMOS drivers use a control panel not unlike this: Usually the "Options"...

Ideally, manufacturers would program their Xmos bridges to default to always on streaming, but no one does.

Hi, this option (Always on) is available with the driver that's on Loxjie's website which I've installed and enabled and it didn't make a difference.
