No, I am not aware of this.

I have three SBs around the house. One is connected to a high end Denon AVR4306, the other to an Apple Hifi speaker system, third is not relevant right now. I get the hiss on all the amps, no matter how I tune them (tried upping the volume on the SB and lowering it on the amp, and vise versa). Also, I really would like to press that this only happens on MP4 files, not on MP3. Looks to me as if there is something wrong with the MP4 decoding. Also, might the wireless connection introduce noise? I feed the SB over WiFi. > > I don't have the spec for the SB digital volume in my head.

The noise only start when a track actually start playing. When the track is finished, there is no more noise. There is also no noise when paused/stopped. > > Do you have a very loud system ? with lots off gain and efficient > speakers. In one case, yes. Denon AVR4306 feeding large Dynaudio Contour high end speakers. I really appreciate you trying to help me here! :-) Sascha -- funkahdafi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ funkahdafi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5608 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48877 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
