| Why is streaming sounding better than my DAC?? Quick update. After doing some experimentation, seems like the issue is related to either my XLR cables or the XLR inputs on my Coda. Playing anything through RCA inputs is way better than the XLR. Waiting to borrow a friend's XLR cable to figure ... | |
| Why is streaming sounding better than my DAC?? Hi Steve - I'm comparing my Airport Express plugged directly into my Coda integrated with the following two signal paths:1) HD>Auraliti>Ayre>Coda2) Macbook>Ayre>CodaI did use iTunes to encode my CD's, but then used Max to encode the... | |
| Why is streaming sounding better than my DAC?? Don't have access to another DAC. The DAC is relatively new (less than a year) and is current model. It seems to be functioning properly from what I can tell (e.g., switches sample rates, plays all music thrown at it, etc). What type of malfunctio... | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help After much delay, I finally got my problem resolved.....and quite nicely!Doug Dale, the owner of Coda, had been severely injured many months ago and has been off work until last week. Much of the delay that I experienced was due to Doug's absence.... | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help I had an opportunity today to go to a local audio store. Brought in the integrated, thinking, if I can still hear the hum, and the staff can hear it, then we've isolated the problem. And, fortunately, the problem remained, obvious to all ears. It ... | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help Jim (Jea-48) - just curious if you could say more about what/how to do the AM radio experiment. Should I actually tune into a station......or just set it to the very beginning or end of the band? What am I listening for if I set it to the station.... | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help I got a response from Coda within 2 hours. They want the amp back at the factory, and will pay for shipping both directions. They verified that they had listened to the amp through their speakers, and could not hear the hum. The hum is stable at a... | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help Went over to fellow Audiogoner drubin earlier today (thanks Dan!!) to try my amp in his system. Had the same exact problem occur in his system that I do in mine; hum coming through speakers when as little as (any) power cord and speaker cables are... | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help Will have updates later this week. Am meeting with a fellow Audiogon'r on Thursday, and the dealer on Friday. | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help LAK - very interesting possibility. There's been lots of work in our panel over the years. i will try to check it out! | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help Al - there is no hum coming from the amp itself.Mental - I have already tried the experiment of disconnecting everything from the amp aside from speakers cables and the power cord. I get the hum just with that minimal set of "items" plugged in.Matt | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help Thanks for the additional suggestions upon which to follow up. Given that it's a holiday weekend, nothing will happen with the dealer until next week. The outlet in the hallway is definitely a different circuit than the ones in the living room. I ... | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help Been doing a bit more reading elsewhere......would an "isolation transformer" help in this situation? Is it possible to install one immediately after the wall outlet (i.e., can I plug my power strip into the transformer)? Am I shooting from the hip? | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help Well, I wasn't able to get to RS today (did a nearly 4 hour bike ride in 85 degree heat.....kinda beat), but, I was able to do the extension cord test. Used a (probably) 14 gauge 25 foot Home Depot type extension cord. Tried it in two separate out... | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help Sounds like many of you are concerned about the "health" of my outlets. The house was brand new in 1990....meaning all new (to code) electrical at that time. I did install both audiophile outlets myself....and know they were done correctly. I do h... |
