OK - then if I'm understanding correctly, with the SB turned off the Numerik will be muting its output as a good DAC should, in the absence of any spdif input. So you won't get any popping if there is a fault in the Numerik output stage while the SB is off. I really feel you should get the unit serviced by Linn.
You could prove this by attempting to measure DC across the output of the Numerik while the dac is on but not playing any music. There shouldn't be any. One final question - is the popping in both channels or just one? -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...SB3+Stontronics PSU - Altmann JISCO/UPCI - TACT 2.2X (Linear PSU) + Good Vibrations S/W - MF Triplethreat(Audiocom full mods)- Linn 5103 - Aktiv 5.1 system (6x LK140's, ESPEK/TRIKAN/KATAN/SEIZMIK 10.5), Townsend Supertweeters, Kimber & Chord cables Outdoors: Boombox+Creative Sub (If I remember to turn it on...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53996 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
