Why does my MSB DAC III click?

I just hooked my new MSB DAC III to my Cambridge D-500 SE
CD player, and everytime the CD player switches tracks,
the DAC clicks! I switched to my Sony DVD player and it
does the same thing. It seems to be searching for the signal. I contacted MSB, but was wondering if anyone has
run into the same thing.
Thanks,
Dave

That was very kind of you to look that up Birdieman. Kind of cool that the MSB actually has user accessible jumpers to adapt to / correct situations like that too. Sean

I'm also experiencing the same thing with my DAC III. I leave it on all the time but when I turn on my cd player which I use as a transport, it clicks. Same thing when I turn the cd off or when I unplug the dac. Similarly, I hear it with my cd player (rotel rcd 970) when it is turned on.
I just thought that this was normal because the relays are switching something on. Birdieman's explanation made things clearer for me too.

I'm wondering whether moving the jumpers could also affect/improve the sound.

Cut your fingernails? The increase in PRaT from this fine DAC simply has you tapping away! Take your shoes off, too!
(Sorry...couldn't resist.)
Have a fine Thanksgiving, all.
