When you switched to 48khz (and the clicks were gone) the „problem“ was solved with the same PSU... ;)

both 48k and 44.1k work equally well(100%), when sync is set correctly and the hardware is working.

did you try using one unit with bnc?

if you tested everything and are sure that it's all setup correctly, then you need to contact support for service/testing. there aren't any special tricks or techniques...

You can't change the power supply for the ultragain. They have internal switching supplies (at least the ADAT 8200, which is shown in the picture).

it might be not the case

but i used to have two pci cards with adat cables and if the pc was hot, it would start clicking
the remedy was to pull out adat cables slightly, how to say, to put them a bit further for the optical eye to focus better
it was perhaps caused by heat expansion of some plastic optics or what... it was weird but predictable - and better case cooling would fix it!
