I don't have a TacT system, but your post reminded me of something I read over at Audio Circle. Dan Banquer was doing some EMI testing of his system that had an SB3 hooked up to his DAC with a coaxial connection. He used an AM radio to detect radiated EMI and got some really bad pickup. After replacing the coax between SB3 and DAC with Toslink, the problem went away. The yet-unproven hypothesis was that conducted EMI, possibly from the wall-wart, was being introduced via the ground path of the S/PDIF, and being converted to radiated EMI and picked up by the radio. It would be interesting to see what happens in your setup with Toslink from SB3 to TacT.
Another guy at that site, Occam, who sometimes posts here, touted me on to an internet source of glass Toslink cables for $20. I could dig out the URL if you want. -- andy_c ------------------------------------------------------------------------ andy_c's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3128 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28307 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
