| Strange ground loop...? It really doesn't sound like the DAC is defective, does it? It seems more like something silly like an incompatible RCA connector... | |
| Strange ground loop...? I just wanted to add... the cable would only slide down about half way of the connector post on my DAC. At that point the connector would stop because it was hitting the plastic at the back of the space between the outter ring and the inner rod of... | |
| Strange ground loop...? Well I took the DAC out of my system last night and hooked it up to a second system using LC-1 for the output. The same interference noise occuredI had three pairs of LC-1 cable and tried all three as outputs from my DAC to my pre, and they all ha... | |
| Strange ground loop...? So is this sort of interference problem known to occur sometimes with this type of cable?Does this problem I'm having mean my DAC has a problem? | |
| Strange ground loop...? Anyone? What is a cable that has a return through the shield? | |
| Strange ground loop...? Sooo..... is my DAC faulty? | |
| Strange ground loop...? Alright... I took the DAC and hooked it up in a separate system on a separate circuit (only using the same LC-1 cable) annnd the noise was still there. Why it would disappear when going direct to my amp (as well as my old integrated) is a mystery ... | |
| Strange ground loop...? Anyone? | |
| Strange ground loop...? awwww maaaaan. Well, thanks for the help man. | |
| Strange ground loop...? I do have everything plugged into the same outlet. It's all on a power conditioner, actually. I think the confusion there arose when I was switching my power plugs around everywhere to see if that would make a difference.I tried grounding the DAC ... | |
| Strange ground loop...? It was caused by the LC-1 using shield as the return? What does this mean? Why was it bad only when connected to my pre-amp? What types of cable should I be looking at as a replacement?Thanks everyone for the help - much appreciated. | |
| Strange ground loop...? You got it Kijanki.That sounds perfect now. Man, that was crazy.Ok, so... for some reason I can run LC-1 from my DAC directly into my amp without a problem... but I cannot run LC-1 from my DAC into my pre-amp.I would have never guessed this... how... | |
| Strange ground loop...? Jea48 - Your on the right track.I just hooked up a long run of crappy RCA cable from the analogue outs of my PC. It was the same set-up just with a different source than the DAC... and there is no noise or distortion at all.So... the problem isn't... | |
| Strange ground loop...? oh no I havent tried that... I will right now. | |
| Strange ground loop...? Ok, Chassis on amp connected to chassis on DAC or pre-amp = zero difference at all (full distortion still present). |
