Are u using Windows Vista? I remember last time when I was using Vista I got that sort of popping sound too and it annoyed the hell outta me. After some googling I found out that alot of Vista's users suffer from that problem too when they are using external DAC. Fixed the problem after i changed to Windows 7.
Nope not using vista... currenlty using Win7 68

You connected you amp from pc using RCA cable, that pop coming from your pc sound card.
Why not get usb cable and use the Amp/DAC properly. FLAC is lossless but that doesn't mean no pop/crack sound.
The D/A chip used in the Tiny Tube is a relatively unknown UAC3553B 24/48 USB Audio DAC chip from the Zurich based semiconductor manufacturer Micronas. Analog data signal from the Micronas UAC3553B is then passed on to the 12AT7 twin triode tube, which is then passed on to the popular TPA6120 amplifier chip and out to the headphone sockets.
One of forumer here also having pop/crack with his DAC, after change to shorter USB cable, all gone.
Hmmmm my TTD DAC already upgrade the chip, it not using the old one, it used other chip ( Cirrus Logic CS4398 ) so right now it run 24/96
Will try shorter USB,
PS: i already disable my mobo soundcard

TeclastTiny Tube DAC (TTD) v2 - RM700




Specs:
Head Amp: Texas Instrument TPA6120 chip
USB Receive: Tenor TE7022L
DAC Chip: Cirrus Logic CS4398
Tube: Shugang Psvane Series 12AT7-T
Together, TTD v2 offer superior resolution and great separation for your music with great bass depth and bigger soundstage. The new DAC Chip combo provides a ton of upgrade in terms of sound presentation as it now accepts 24bit 96kHz via USB, over the old Micronas Dac chip of the version 1, which only did 24 bit 48 kHz. It is able to drive 32-300ohms Headphones and IEMs without any hiss and with relative and satisfaction – We have personally tried a Beyerdynamic DT880/600 and a Beyerdynamic T1 but unfortunately it is just not able to fully showcase the headphones.
