Hey...been ages since I posted, and I only checked in because the skips were starting to really bug me today as well. Was hoping there was an upgrade that would have fixed this long before now...
I've got an N-1 unit with the upgraded backpack. I have always had the skips (chirps? no, it's not a chirp, it's a skip...it's like someone bumped the record player). All my music is encoded with the 1.0 encoder, all Q5.
Mostly I ignore it, or I've gotten used to it. I've never had any kind of explanation as to why it happens other than CPU usage, and yet some people report no problems at all with higher bitrates.
The skips are never in the same place, either. They're random. They typically happen only once during a track.
I've read the GarBage changelog forums and seen people claim it's an encoder issue, but I never used the beta encoder...just the stock 1.0 encoder.
