Ah, I think you misunderstand me. The crackling sounds *are* in
proportion to the volume setting. What I mean is that the crackling
doesn't go away when you lower the volume. Of course it gets quieter.

I'm not surprised that this might be the first time anyone has had this
problem. I have over 500 CDs and this is the first one to do this. 

I have of course tried various other recent CDs since this problem
occurred to see if any others do it but they don't. 

Indeed most of the tracks on 'Consolers of the Lonely' don't exhibit
the problem although the sound editor shows me that there is plenty of
clipping. I guess that just on one or two tracks the clipping is so
severe that the Transporter gets it wrong.

Unfortunately I don't have another DAC into which I can plug the
Transporter's digital output to see if that cures the problem. Until
recently I had a Lavry DA10 but I sold it after deciding the
Transporter is better. I do have a Behringer DEQ but it has balanced
outputs and my amp only has unbalanced inputs and I don't have any
adaptors. 

The problem still occurs if I insert the Behringer into the effects
loop of the Transporter but I guess that doesn't tell us anything
except the Behringer reports that clipping is occurring but it does
that with a lot of recent CDs.
