Did you remember to remove the stock PSU from the wall outlet when testing the others? (One theory is that noise is spread widely by the SMPS.) A transport is sensitive to various influences, just like when you use the analogue outputs, due to the way SPDIF works. -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it. And I won't even if you ask me.
