Are you using the TC as a DAC? - The problem is certainly within the TC
or more likely whatever the TC is connected to. S/PDIF cannot distort
or overload in the conventional sense, because there is nothing higher
than 0dB so if the distortion goes away when you lower the volume it
must be
Yes Im using the TC as a DAC for my SB3.
The TC is a professional device that has very high headroom. Distortion
is maybe not the correct wording. It is difficult to describe; maybe
saturation is a better word. Vocals are usually the material where this
saturation is easiest to hear when it

Yes, all DSP functions in the TC are off. There is nothing in the TC
that is further amplifying the SPDIF signal. The TCs output is fed
into a Cambridge Audio 840E preamp which should be able to handle it.

My bet is that the TC output is slightly too hot for the
Ill do some measuring to find out. Ill report back with the results.

Well, well, dont I feel stupid now... Cant believe I missed that one!
I did my measurements by running a WAV file with a 0 dB / 1 kHz sine
wave signal through the SB3. The output of the TC is indeed way too
high at 0 dB digital in. I lowered the TCs output stage so that it
outputs 2 volts RMS
