Pops when streaming


Hello, 

I just recently purchased a Node2i to stream in my system. I'm using the Coax out to feed my Peachtree Dacit into an NAD amp. I'm streaming via hifi not direct connection. 

I'm hearing some pops and snaps when I use Coax out, which are not there if I use the Streamer's own Dac. What's even more confusing is that certain cables pop and snap even more. I've contacted everyone with no help or suggestions as to what is happenning. 

What could be causing the pops ans cracks when streaming? Is this a known issue, related to network, cables, dacs, streamers?

Any help would be appreciated.

I had a c658 on loan, streaming with a node 2i. Heard the same thing. It's gone. Maybe a Nad thing.
What are you streaming?
In my experience BluOS creates pops at the end of some, not all mp3s. Converting them to compressed flac silences the noise.
It happens often at the start of songs. streaming from

Spotify
Tidal
Amazon HD

It pops a lot more with some cables. I am trying to identify the source of the problem in case I need to return the Node2i.
