What kind of speakers do you have now? I use a T-Amp and normal speakers (definitive pro cinema monitors) for my alarm clock setup. I don't have any audible hum or hiss with my setup. I keep the T-Amp at about 1/3 volume, and the squeezebox is set to play at 35 for the alarm playlist. I had a pair of cheap altec lansing PC speakers that had a very audible hiss even when the switch was "off". I eventually just gave them away because the sound was awful. You may want to check out the Audio Engine 2 speakers for an alarm clock setup. http://www.audioengineusa.com/ -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40213
