I’m running LMS and Squeezelite on a Raspberry Pi 3 with a wired
ethernet connection. I use it mostly for internet radio.

I’m connecting the USB output to a T+A DAC 8 DSD. This sounds fine at
first. However, if I switch off the music (via the SqueezeCtrl app on my
tablet) and then return to play more music after a longish, as yet
undetermined, period, then I get intermittent and distorted sound. As
far as I can tell it’s not a DAC issue as its diagnostic lights indicate
the connection is properly maintained. It also has (once) happened after
several hours of playing music - the music just stopped followed by a
regular pulsing version of the sound. Killing Squeezelite and restarting
it solved it.

In fact this issue can always be resolved by restarting Squeezelite
(usually after having been killed first, rather than just stopped). But
it’s a pain to have to keep doing that.

Previously, before I experimented with USB, I used a HiFiBerry Digi+ and
connected with a phono lead. There were no problems whatever with this
(except that it’s limited to 24/192). The basic hardware seems to be OK,
there seems to be a software issue of some sort.
