Phil ok, it seems that I should get my amp serviced. Or perhaps simply hang onto my Lavry...when I go digital out from the TP to my Lavry(and XLR out from the Lavry to amp)...all 3 devices plugged into the same power bar..the problem also disappears. From what you say, am I wrong in supposing

Purely by accident I found that songs on the virtual disk and synced on iTunes can be played on my iPod. I wasn't expecting this to occur. Either: iTunes copies the music as a WAV to the iPod, Or iPods have the ability to play FLAC. Either way, now I can have my FLACs and listen to them to!
