The ALLO Audio music steamer - Pic heavy review

Does anybody else get clicking when starting tracks in this upsampling mode?

No clicks here. My music is in a USB hard drive attached to the RPi.

Hi Andre,
I have the Kali and Piano on a Pi2 which is connected to my network via ethernet via an unmanaged switch which also has my NAS and Pi 3 running Asset upnp and a drive from my NAS mounted. I am controlling the whole lot with Bubble upnp either my phone or tablet connected wirelessly to the same network (obviously!).

It was getting late last night so I didn't do exhaustive testing but the click only occurred when started a track from scratch or skipped not when it was mid playlist. It happened with 16/44.1 and 24/192 sources.

I will try to do some more testing tonight if my time doesn't get taken up with sticky tape and wrapping paper!

Cheers
Richard

I've had similar clicks when streaming via Bubble.

no clicks here either in a variety of configurations and situations (spotify, airplay, nas, etc.)

I can live with the clicks as I tend to listen to whole albums and it doesn't affect a playlist once started, however what I can‘t stand is skipping! Only a fraction of a second and no artefacts but there all the same. It's not the file because I can replay the same section again and it is fine. I tried maxing out the buffer but to no avail. I have now gone back to Volumio for the meantime. Perhaps the Pi2 isn't man enough for the upscaling although it wasn't too hot or anywhere near 100%CPU? any thoughts anyone?

Just seen something similar on the Moode thread so will investigate!

OK let me know what you guys find out and if you need any support from our side, but it doesn't seem to be hardware related.

I have been playing both the Kali/2.1 and Kali/1.1 combinations today and switching between sample tracks, mainly alac cd rips but some high res DSD and FLAC also, but have heard no clicks. I also run from a NAS via a switch (actually 2 switches are between source and player). I am using Pi3 and Moode3.1 and controlling it via the mode app.
