Did some more testing with alternating between listening on the Headphone & Speaker while playing some music at moderate levels.
- it sounds like a little spike/pop/drop (almost like what you hear on FM radio when there is lightning near the tower)
- it is not regular (eg like each 10 sec) so you will go for a minutes without a pop, then get several over 20 secs
- it seems becomes more frequent the longer you play the music
- it does not happen on the Headphones

I did a wiggle test (gently) of the cables running from the back of the Audiobyte to the speakers and while I could make some drop outs it was not quite the same effect.

So I'm still nervous about pointing the finger at one particular component as I can not reliably replicate the issue.

Thanks
Nathan
