Not that anyone appears too interested, but I've isolated the buzz. It has nothing to do with the Squeezebox Touch or the power supply. It turns out to be built up stactic electricity and I can make the resulting noise go away immediately by applying a static guard sheet to my interconnects and cables. I hear Nordost sells something for this, but i suspect it costs $300. Boy, this has been a real audio snipe hunt. LOL.
High pitched buzz caused by Squeezebox Touch?
I've noticed that when I have my Squeezebox Touch plugged in and hooked up to my main system and running through my DAC, I hear a low level high frequency buzz coming from my tweeters. I've checked all cabling thoroughly. The only thing that eliminates the buzz is keeping the Squeezebox Touch out of the system. Here's the weird part: the buzz does not go away immediately upon detaching the unit. It takes about an hour to completely disappear. When i hook it back up, everything's fine for about 20 minutes and then the buzz is back.
Is this caused by that damned switching power supply in the SB? If so, which PS upgrade will do the best job of elimating it. I can't afford the Bolder mods, so that's not an option.
