Hi Nice Monkey, i flash my Z9S player to test again the noisy sound music after 2 years. From FW1.7.8, 2.2.61, 2.2.82, 2.2.96 (HT2.5.1, MP5.09), I tested only these version manage to play the above DTS-ES file (must set audio to RAW and adjust volume to max) and DSD ISO is very smooth. After this FW version, can not play this file. DSD ISO start to jerk from beginning of playback. Technically, what could be the problems ? Can you find out and share your thoughts ? Hope future FW upgrade can fix this. Thanks. Please download this flac music for test the noisy sound. A bit sad if new version can not fix this. https://www.myqnapcloud.com/smartshare/72i4990n4l6p706s0t1206z9_cd23jj5mmk7q2nq1r80503x3z263e638
