eww that's uncool.

Silly question In the mac controlcentre ensure you've turned off/bypassed
the reverb/dsp capabilities?

I've previously replicated this with audacity and jack. (at 24bit 96kHz) but
when I get home I'll give aplay a go after generating the sine.

I'll see if I can capture it and make some waveform's or something and I've
tested my other usb soundcard and it doesn't have the clicking.

Grant.
