The interconnect from Squeezebox to Nait is a phono-to-DIN cable, right? Question: is the DIN plug a metal bodied one? (A lot of cables made for use with Naims have locking metal DIN plugs that can easily be opened up). If yours is like that type, then you might want to open it up and connect the centre pin to the metal body, which I'm assuming will be connected to the Nait's casework (and therefore be grounded).
Alternatively, as Patrick suggested (and probably a less fiddly operation): you could open up the Nait itself and connect the centre pin of the input socket to the casework. There might even be a more convenient place on the main board to hook into the ground plane. Ideally you want to do this as an easily reversible mod. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33414 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
