When one of my SPDIF devices is the master it occasionally loses "touch" with the Pulsar and resets,which causes loss of sound which is unnacceptable.Anybody else had this.Is it a bug.Sometimes I feel that midi interferes?

If you are using an external device, may be there is an interference in the SPDIF Cable. Are you using a santard audio cable or a proper SPDIF COAXIAL cable?

If you are using an axternal spdif source, check the error limit of the media. ADAT tapes, DAT or other TAPE sources can be scratched, or with dust particles that make clock drops. When the signal is lost the sound may mute or make digital noise.

If none of this cases is yours, describe more detailed what is happening....and I´ll try to think in something...

If you SPDIF device is master, and at some point stops sending clock, it would be quite normal to get a loud pop or loud static. This happens with lots/most digital gear unfortunately. The solution is to choose the device with the most stable clock and set it as master... many times low-end boxes with SPDIF don't have wordclock or SPDIF input. In those cases if you can't get reliable digital behavior, I personally would just go through the analog I/Os on that device.
