Nope - the ever persisting cracks and pops issue when sending audio to the OP-1 and then further on to a Computer via USB (using it as an interface for external gear). See here:

Yes, TE should do something asap, a 1400 $ sampler that canāt record clean audio is a joke.
Maybe we should start a petition topicā¦

For me as well, usb audio from audio input Jack had cracks and pops on 243 and also recording to tape from input Jack also had occasional cracks/popsā¦ I even contacted TE at the time and they said that I should wait for firmware updates possibly referring to this update!
I had downgraded to 242 while waiting for the update because on that version recording to tape from input Jack was clean.
I havenāt had the time to test it on 245 yet, but I will let you know how it goes when I do.

Thank you for reporting back - Iām really interested if the updates fixes the issue for somebody. Recording to tape without usb connected wasnāt a problem for me - even on #243. The problem starts when using the line-in and having usb connected.
Mine does it even without USB cable connectedā¦
What happens when you disable usb charging on the op-1?
Same - tried everything in the book. Isolator (USB & Ground loop like suggested), different sources (with and without PSUs), different macbooks, different daws, different cables, different buffer sizes, etc. My only option left is to replace the logic board but I still think itās a firmware problem.
Even with the new firmware?
I tried your settings and when I connect the line while sampler is selected, the input level is at +31. When I adjust the inputlevel (orange) to normal settings like o.
I can record through line (I recorded my Roland d05)
Without noise, I donāt even have usb noise, and charging is not even disabled.
Do you use the original op-1 usb cable?

Yes
Iāve also tried everything and the only way to record clean audio from the external input is to revert back to Firmware 242.
And by āClean Audioā I mean without random clicks and pops similar to when you have your buffer size set incorrectly on your DAW, it sounds a bit like vinyl cracklesā¦
Even with the OP-1 completely unplugged.
Thatās it, to me itās clearly a firmware issueā¦
Sure maybe it affects only some devices but still a firmware issue.

I can assure you they will not mention any of this on any update change-log, as weāve seen with the String fix, they wont mention it because they are in denial, even though they are aware of the issue, publicly they act as if the issue doesnāt exist and if you ask them about it you are then treated like a sketchy fool with faulty hardware.

on my OP-1 rev 1 the update introduced dead/faulty pixels nearly everywhere in the system especially in the Preset lists
EDIT installed 242 to see if thereās some difference but I guess its maybe there mixed with dust or whatever. nothing to do with the update
I wish that in our emails subscription to TE, they announce the firmware updates!

DNA is also equipped with finer graphical details, the fuzz it makes when dialing in noise (orange) is more irregular

I have (i guess successfully) contacted TE in regard to the crackling issue some people (including me) seems to get from firmware #243 and #245.
Iāve reported and explained carefully the issue, my report has now been sent to their development team.
So hopefully they will investigate the issue and I really hope we will see that fixed on the next update.
