Sorry, I assumed your amp had RCA jacks for inputs as most do. I'm not familiar with Naim kit - but, maybe there's a clue here nonetheless.
Do you know how your 5-pin plugs are wired? The fact that you get music at all means that the signal pins must be wired correctly - but that leaves three pins, and the screen, any or all of which could be used as ground. The fact that touching the jack on the back of the amp makes a difference at all suggests that there's a broken connection, or maybe an incorrectly wired cable, somewhere. The manual for your amp should include a diagram showing how the DIN sockets are wired; can you check with a multimeter that your cable is correct? Or remove the covers from the plugs to trace the wiring? -- AndyC_772 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndyC_772's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33414 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
