C50 clicks but....
I just started a 30-day trial on Rhapsody a few days ago and have noticed clicks/pops ever so often thru my C50. It is connected via WW Silver Starlight coax to the Sonos and the 50. The thing is..... it didn't/doesn't happen on LastFm (before it was free) or Pandora,just Rhapsody.
Any C50 owners with Sonos experiencing the same on Rhapsody? The sampling rate thru the Sonos is limited at 44.1K unless you've modded your Sonos to 96....could the 44.1 be the problem? I guess "No more Rhapsody" for me....

That's strange. It's only USB that has the problem, but I don't use Sonos. Does it do it with a CD transport?

'cisco.......In the main system I use Rhapsody via Wireworld's Supernova glass Toslink from the Sonos ZP90 to the MCD1100 without issue. In the studio system I use coax from the Sonos ZP90 to the MCD1100. The ZP90 in the main system is hard wired with Ethernet to my router. The studio ZP90 gets its signal wireless. I have no problems with either setup.

With a CD playing in the MCD500...... optical out to C50 digital in....no clicks .................................................. MCD500...... coax out to C50 digital in.....no clicks Apparently the cd transport in the equation does not produce the clicks. Sonos playing Rhapsody optical out to C50 digital in....no clicks Sonos playing Rhapsody coax out to C50 digital in.....occasional clicks Dan....I guess I need a better optical?....SuperNova 6 I don't know if this is the solution for the clicks but I'll throw it out there anyway.... I'm kind of thinking the C50 doesn't like more than one digital connection connected at one time. If you have a coax connected.....don't connect a optical cable to the 50,which I noticed I did last night and this morning. At the moment I'm listening to Rhapsody with just the coax connected and so far, no clicks. Knock on wood.... I'll have to try the USB to see if that produces the clicks.....that may take a little juggling of the rack and a PC. __________________

Today I decided to connect my sff PC to the C50 via a USB cable. I've been playing music from the hd and it actually sounds pretty good and best of all..... "NO TICKS or POPS" The only down side....if you're a number watcher.......the display is only reading 16/48K. Now the waiting game from Mc......
