About the clip 1 and 2 I can definitely hear the artifacts in your clips, but I never noticed that on my KPA with my profiles... I don't know if it is something only related to that profile or you have similar problems with other profiles.
3) I don't understand. Are you setting every other gear's digital clock to slave? If not it's very regular that you'll have those clicks...
Display Moremiles,
I'm hearing the issue your having, most audible in the last note, the Ab.here's a quick recording I made of the Vab Clean profile, first your Grace DI, then your profile with the issue, then the Vab Clean profile - where what I can hear in your profile isn't happening:
(the Vab Clean profile ist just the Stack section of course, Noise Gate, Stomps and Effects are disabled. Gain shows @ 0.0; bridge HB, SD JB, Clean Sense @ 5)http://soundcloud.com/donpetersen/vab-clean-01
could you please contact me via pm, so I can check out the profile you made?
thanks.
p.s.
here's a picture of the waveforms. first the Grace DI then Grace DI profile, then the Vab Clean profile.
you can see the limiting going on in the attack of your profile (not in the Vab profile, tho)[Blocked Image: http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e229/donelectro/Fullscreencapture1025201210208AM.jpg]
p.p.s.
I repeated´this with the bass set to max and the Clean Sense maxed (clipping the input and output) - still issue-free.
I think I need your profile.
thx
Dan, In the interest of full disclosure, those sound files were done during the summer on the latest firmware at the time, and were already posted on this thread back then. You raise an important question about selecting "clean" when profiling, and I am reasonably sure I did that. I plan to do new clean profiles tomorrow with a more recent firmware version and will let you know what I discover.

Ballantine, In all my S/PDIF tests, my Avid HD 192, Crane Song Avocet, and a consumer D to A were slaving to the KPA, and trying 3 different brands of digital cable, I experienced random and varying ticks that would sometimes go away with a rig change, but only to return at a later time.
