Not withstanding the previous poster, the SB3 should not be making white noise, or any other artifacts. Mine certainly don't, and I'm sure that others working properly don't either. -- Millwood Millwood's Profile: http://

i use analog outs. i have noticed lil bits of white noise or pops or whatever you want to call them pretty regularly on the SB, and have just gotten used to the annoyance. (i don't mind it too much since usually my stereo is no more than moderately loud and b/c it doesn't seem to happen often du

Thanks so much for the advice. I'll try and found out where the culprit is over the next few days. Really don't want it to be the DAC as it sounds so good! -- Braidy Braidy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.p

The next thing I'd try would be to link the analog out from the SB directly to the amp. If you amp has a spare input you could just run it in parallel and switch between the two, both SB outputs are always active. I appreciate this may not be your desired config, but it would potentially allow y

Interference on the 802.11g side won't cause white noise: it will cause ... silence. (ie, there are a few layers of error correcting going on, if the data is mangled by a microwave oven, the packet will be retried until it gets through or the network is deemed unable to exist...) What sort of co

I've been very impressed with the SB3 but I'm suffering from very short bursts of white noise or spikes at fairly frequent and irregular intervals. I've upgraded my broadband service to the fastest available and no microwave or phone is being used when it happens. My router channel is 1 and my n
