I thought I should try out a few DSD albums and so I purchased and
downloaded the 2 channel DFF album from Guardian Angel from Channel
Classics.

When I first played the DFF files in a playlist without modifying the
files, all was going well (DoP mode @2.8MHz showed up on the display of
the DAC, sound was pristine) until the end of the first track when the
music abruptly stopped. Moving to the second track, that played through
ok, and transitioned to the 3rd track but that track stopped at the end
as well. 

I then decided to make DSF files out of the tracks, tag them properly
and try again. That done, and after a rescan, the artwork and track info
showed up as desired and the music played through, but at end of certain
tracks I got a show-briefly popup that complains that then file could
not be found as illustrated below. Interestingly, the troublesome tracks
are the same ones that stopped when played as DFF files. I repeated this
with the SBS --local-file option removed with the same results.

I am wondering if these files were badly encoded by Channel Classics,
perhaps having few samples in them than the header is advertising.
However, the same tracks played without incident using Audirvana Plus on
my Macbook pro rendering to the same TEAC UD501 USB DAC in DoP mode.

Has anyone else come across this behavior? Any suggestions?
