My Daphile has 2G Ram memory. I use bit perfect option, my DAC(based on ES9028Pro with XMOS USB adapter, DIY by me) is of very good sound quality and I don't have any problems when I use it with JRiver and Wins 8.1. No audio dropout whatsoever.
When I increase the buffer size I can still hear audio dropout for about the same length(4-6sec) this time it moves down the track depending on the buffer size it moves to the next track. Possibly there is bug in the software. This is unfortunate because currently I cannot fully evaluate the quality of this player.
I will try, most likely the problem lies between the Daphile and Xmos adapter interface.
I have used 4 different chinese dacs all using different xmos modules ..single ak4495, single ak4490, dual ak4490 and dual ak4495 and never experienced any dropouts .upsample redbook to 24/192 no problem..i don't think it is a bug in the software
Have you optimized the CPU settings on the settings -> power tab. Also look at the CPU usage on the info tab. Should not exceed 50%.
Hi,
After reading inputs from Vdi and r8833 inputs I traced the fault to my external USB HUB, I remove the Hub and plugged the USB cable directly to the laptop and dropouts gone.
Thanks guys and those who contributed in resolving this problem.
Will report back after assessment of the sound quality.
Cheers.

I don't recall any mention of a hub in the queries. If you are going to test a new setup, start from the most minimal situation and, if you wish to add, at least you will know when and what has caused a problem.
BTW, I use the volume control option in Daphile and can't tell any difference. It is very convenient to be able to control everything from your phone, and I don't think my system is the worst in the world.
Just made a review about Daphile on my website
Audio Dandy - How to enjoy High Resolution Audio
Audio Dandy - How to enjoy High Resolution Audio
First some facts:
99% of all music recordings in the world are recorded in PCM (or DXD which is also PCM) not in DSD.
USB is not designed to transport DSD, therefore we have to use a technique called "DoP" (DSD over PCM)
to overcome this issue, so that we still can listen to DSD (DSF) files.
This is not true.. there is native DSD support for USB, for Linux and Windows..
Apple decided that since Mac OS 10.7 only PCM will be supported not DSD
Windows doenst support standard UAC2 for this functionality a driver is needed
The fact is there is no standard for transporting DSD over USB
Windows 10 includes support for USB 2.0
Windows 10 Finally Getting Native USB 2 Audio Support | Head-Fi.org
Try connecting your USB2 DAC without first installing a driver and confirm it connects.
Also, while there is limited material encoded in DSD (see https://www.nativedsd.com/ for access to 1200 DSD encoded downloads) Daphile does provide simplified access to its resampling algorithm. The resampling of PCM to DSD seems to work extremely well with ESS Sabre DACS - the higher the resampling (DSD512?) the better provided it is supported by your DAC.
I was right
Windows don't support standard UAC2, I took them 10 years (!) to make a additional driver for it to get UAC2 functionality...
You need this driver to get UAC2, If you have a official Windows 10 installation CD, you will have no UAC2 after installing...
