Hi
No periodic clicks so far. Have been using the Ultralite almost every day for a few months (I have two of them but rarely use the other one). The only glitch so far are a few times where the sound has been a bit strange like distorted in the top of the frequencies. Kind of bit crushed low resolution effecting the top end only. That has gone away by just stop jack (using cadence) and starting it again. I use my card set to internal clock source and no connected AVB or adat devices by the way.
Regards, Anders

Hi that's interesting.
I couldn't downgrade so I haven't tried older firmware.
Maybe I need to contact tech support.
By the way, I am curious if the ultralite avb has also these periodic clicks
I described before. Thanks.
