The tracks are fine on the MD. No clicks at all. Also, the clicks do not
always appear in the exact same position after transfer...

Walt sent me a similar answer off-list a while ago, when I first told
him about the problem. But I have looked through all options in Audition
(and in CoolEdit 2000) and I have not been able to find anything that
