[LAU] Start of audio cut off on USB DAC

I have a USB DAC (Fiio E-10) that I'm using in Linux to play music (ogg files, etc). It works fine except that at the start of every file, I get no sound until about 0.1 seconds into the file--the music before that is cut off. I don't have this problem using the built-in sound card on my computer, and the USB DAC works fine in Windows.

Any ideas on how I can fix this? I didn't do anything special to set up the DAC--just plugged it in and set AUDIODEV="hw:1,0". I'm using ALSA, have tried a few different programs to play the files, and tried using JACK (with ALSA), but it doesn't make any difference.

Thanks,
Phil Carter
