Ah, I think you misunderstand me. The crackling sounds *are* in proportion to the volume setting. What I mean is that the crackling doesn't go away when you lower the volume. Of course it gets quieter.
I'm not surprised that this might be the first time anyone has had this problem. I have over 500 CDs and this is the first one to do this. I have of course tried various other recent CDs since this problem occurred to see if any others do it but they don't. Indeed most of the tracks on 'Consolers of the Lonely' don't exhibit the problem although the sound editor shows me that there is plenty of clipping. I guess that just on one or two tracks the clipping is so severe that the Transporter gets it wrong. Unfortunately I don't have another DAC into which I can plug the Transporter's digital output to see if that cures the problem. Until recently I had a Lavry DA10 but I sold it after deciding the Transporter is better. I do have a Behringer DEQ but it has balanced outputs and my amp only has unbalanced inputs and I don't have any adaptors. The problem still occurs if I insert the Behringer into the effects loop of the Transporter but I guess that doesn't tell us anything except the Behringer reports that clipping is occurring but it does that with a lot of recent CDs. -- technobear Chris Transporter >> Croft Syntegra >> Zu Druid mkIV ------------------------------------------------------------------------ technobear's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1444 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61069 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
