I've never heard this popping and I dont believe there is a firmware
issue here.
I didn't think of it but maybe a better explanation is that I have some
FLAC-files
I got my Squeezebox v3 yesterday. It's perfect (except it doesn't handle
96khz).
I have also heard very short pops or bursts of hard noise for 2/10
of a second in the right channel only. This has occurred 3 times now,
out of 4-5 hours of playback. The buffer is not near empty when it
happens and

have probably indicated a different problem.

Hi Phil
I hope you get this message. After a long conversation on the phone,
my dealer agreed to send a courier to pick the Numerik up tomorrow. I
had to try really hard to convince him that there is something wrong
with the Numerik. He said he will ask an

connecting the SB to the Cyrus via its analogue outputs (removethe
Numerik completely) and see if the popping is still there... that would
indicate a problem in the amp (unlikely).
Thanks for a very
Hello
Has anyone here experienced this?
I've got my SB3 coupled with Linn Numerik, which I just got a couple of
days ago, using coaxial digital interconnect. The pair then feed
through Cyrus pre and powers.
I notice that whenever I change the source at the pre I hear a little
audible pop

I notice that whenever I change the source at the pre
SB3 has DC blocking caps of course, but it does not have resistors to
keep the output at 0V if there's no load. The vast majority of preamps
have some input resistance which does this. This subject has come up

Based on what you have written it would appear that the Numerik may have
a small DC offset on its analogue output. The issue is not with the SB.
This isn't usual with Linn gear, but it is possible that the Numerik
may have a faulty output cap that should be blocking

Please disregard my previous post. I missed the fact that you are using
s/pdif and thought this was some other issue.
I agree with Phil that the Numerik is suspect here.

Thanaset,
how exactly is your system wired? is it:
SB3 - coax spdif - Numerik - analogue out - Cyrus?
You don't have the SB also connected to the Cyrus via its analogue
outputs as well do you?

That's right -- just like what you said (SB3 - coax spdif

of any spdif input. So you won't get any popping if there is a fault in
the Numerik output stage while the SB is off. I really feel you should

Thank you for your response. The popping comes out from only the right
channel.
I am not very technical so don't really know how to measure DC across
the output. I will speak to my dealer tomorrow if you really think
that there is something wrong with the

Thanks for all you help. Last question: can the SB3 be fitted with a
clock input? If so, then it is possible to sync it with the Numerik
then?
Thanaset
yes...and yes!
You will need to find a company or friend who can do it though. The
benefits are very
