For me personally, buffer before play of 100% did not work well. Somehow I always thought it is a bit of funny setting anyway as mpd only plays when the buffer is completely full and after you play the first byte it has to fill again to be at 100%. I use 8 Mbyte (8192) of buffer and buffer before play is at 10%. It works fine for all resolutions of PCM and also DSD files. As you can see in this thread some people use very small buffers and seem to be fine with it.
Maybe you may also want to try different values of nrpacks as outlined above. I use 20 and it appears fine.
I also used to use a powerline adapter (and WLAN) for the Ethernet connection to the Alix and that did not work well. Always dropouts. Use a wire connection, also shielded cable will make an audible difference to the better.
Hope this is helpful, let us know how you are doing.
