All of a sudden beginning shortly before bed last night, my system is crackling, spitting, popping. Between last night and tonight I move and change all sorts of wires, switch DACs, refresh all the settings on the microRendu, reboot microRendu, change software, change software settings, restart my network switch - nothing helps.

 

I remember that there are some beta settings for my network routers, and that one of them, local network DNS caching, has acted up before.  Turn off local network DNS caching, reboot network - everything is perfect.

 

Local network DNS caching.  Of course, intuitively obvious.

 

you are lucky!!   crackling, spitting, & popping usually means that your USB cable has trapped too much noise and the jitter is causing it to jitbug

 

such jitbug "parties" often continue late into the night or early morning, and bsides keep people awake can lure their daughters into the sins of vacuous voltage

I put a firewall in front of my CPE and just disabled the CPE firewall.  I just don't trust my ISP.

 

 

Comcast??
