Sure enough it's XU216 and MPD issue: https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/262
It's an issue since 2018 without fix.
nice catch!

Here are too many people who come from Topping, or helping Topping sales. Save your time and money, stay away from Chinese products. We just want to enjoy music quietly.
I can remember several years ago ifi had the same kinds of pops and if memory is good they just added a very small amount of zero output prior to playback of the files... ???
Can you give a general (i.e. non OS-specific) explanation of the problem and its solution?Hope this helps!
Unfortunately Moode is not the best sounding option, Album Player for Linux is much better

So am I reading this correctly? You work around the issue by using DSD over PCM (DoP) transmission instead of pure DSD?
That ain't going to leave the “true believers” awfully happy
I do not use PC as a source, I need a good USB cable (AudioQuest Diamond for example), I use a Raspberry Pi 4 + USB adapter, the result suits me!

there are many other worthy options, AQ is an example of an uncompromising solution ... which solution suits me, I pointed out
Gustard is not XMOS-based though? It uses an ES8620 chip. Not XU216.I do not mind, play whatever you want! I find it convenient to use the Pi4 via a USB adapter right in the dac
I used to use the Gustard U16 (XU216 chip) for a long time as a USB converter, but now I don’t see the need for it!

Let's play one of my favorite childhood games: Which one doesn't belong?
For that $650 I'd rather buy a $6 Amazon Basics USB cable, $8 Amazon Basics XLR cables, a Topping A90 headphone amp and have enough change for a decent meal.
- $50 Raspberry Pi streamer
- $650 Audioquest Diamond USB cable
- $600 Topping D90 DAC

I'm not sure how to answer your question... that firmware was a couple years ago and it was around the same time they put MQA on their products... I just remember hearing the pops and they released a firmware that fixed the pops while at the same time adding MQA... it worked though and a very nice DAC/AMP..... one of my favorites...Is that why I hear no sound for first two second from iFi iDSD BL on first track ?
Whether it interests you or not, you were mistaken in what you wrote, yes? The gustard is not XMOS-based at all.it doesn’t interest me, I’m interested in whether the D90 MQA and Pi4 can work stably on a Linux player
But what does a competent £10-£20 (Lets even say £50) USB cable compromise on that the AQ or other "uncompromising" solution doesn't ? Just seeking to understand the mindset of paying as much for your cable as your DACthere are many other worthy options, AQ is an example of an uncompromising solution ... which solution suits me, I pointed out
