With stock SBT I experienced some very short "clicks", sounding like
sounds you got with vinyl discs or like the sound you get from SBT when
manually skipping tracks or going back to the beginning of a track. This
sounds make me think to a very small stall in data reading (which is
quite logical). I use the local server on the SBT with either an USB key
or a SD Card. I always check that the click is not part of the data and
it can not be reproduced by replaying the same part of the track.

I installed EDO, with the buffer size set to "large" and connected to
SPDIF, (USB also works with my DAC), and those annoying sounds (that
appears no more than once every 5 minutes or so) seems to be gone. So my
questions are :
- why is there a warning "avoid if synchronized" when selecting "large"
buffer size ? (I don't understand the real drawback) 
- is the use of USB input of the DAC (instead of SPDIF) with a very
large buffer size, a way to avoid even more this type of parasite sounds
due to data stall ?
- am I wrong and misunderstood the interest of a large buffer size, or
is this EDO that really helped ? (I think it did)
