Mine Delfina DSP Lite creases too...
Unfortunately this is confirmed by most of the users.
And there is no way to improve as the problem is that DSP installed on the board is too weak to decode mp3 stream; DSP usage is bouncing 100% and it's easy to crash any time.
 
There are few ways to live with this:
1) decode mp3 by software way by main CPU (060@60MHz or any PPC)
2) use clockport on Deneb with some nice clockport music card
3) use cheap USB sound card with DENEB! Cheap, reliable, no issues.

In which usb sound card instead of Delfina? I can connect to it amiga audio and cd-rom drive? MP3 will be decode by CPU not DSP?

To be honest I'm using Delfina Lite still, but I will buy USB sound card soon; beleive me :)
 
MP3 stream is decoded by main CPU for $3 card; but it seems that for more advanced USB cards all decoding is done by music card hardware. And I'm targeting to have Creative Labs SoundBlaster X-fi on USB.

I have been on Creative web site and there is no info about hardware decoding for MP3...

Bad news...
It means no reason to spend more money for Creative; better to buy 2-3 different cheap USB cards with hope that at at least 1 will be ok.
