Thanks, indeed I will try this. Anyway, I wait for my passive preamp first, I believe this will at least greatly reduce the issue. However, these OS might be a nice try anyway, maybe whe I find a moment I will just give them a try anway. The Soekris-DAC1101 is pre-built. It's a very nice multibit-dac, all built with resistors, no chips involved, and it sounds fantastic in differents setups I have tried, in particular for it's size and prize. Only disadvantage: There is no separate power input, power comes only through USB. And that might be the issue right now. However, I have box that takes power from a linear psu and puts it together with the usb signal, so in theory the noisy power from the RPi should not get through to the DAC. So I can't explain that noise issue totally... And yeah, thanks, the system is old school indeed. The amps are a bit outdated and oversized for the speakers and I might think about replacing them. Not the speakres. I have searched many times but never found anything that gets close to Rehdeko according to my taste, not even if rediculously expensive :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ diego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40897 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110352 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
