Wadia iTransport problem


I've just received my iTransport yesterday and got it connected. When I put it on the digital output mode with a DAC. There is a "click-Clack, click-clack" sound every time when I pressed the "STOP" or the "FORWARD NEXT" button. The noise level is quite high. I'm afraid it might demage the speakers. I also tried it on another DAC with another amplifier system. Same thing happened. Anyone have this problem ?

Hi Brianmgrarcom,
I search the ipod settings and cannot find the "clicking" option. Pls advise how to set the "clicking" option off.
Hi Eric,

Go to "Settings", it is on the first Menu. Then scroll down until you get to, "Clicker", and set it to "off".

I am using a 160g Classic, I suppose your model lacks the ability to turn this on and off; I don't know enough about each model.

Hi Brian,
The IPod Touch settings has no "clicker" option. I'll borrow an IPod Classic for a trial.

I found that the clicking sound is coming from the DAC. I tried to connect the iTransport to both DACs and both of them have the clicking sound.

I turned off the preamp and power amp. I pressed the remote button and found that the clicking sound is coming from the DAC. I then disconnect the digital cable such that the DAC (with the DAC on) and the iTransport is not connected. I pressed the remote button, no clicking sound. I reconnected the digital cable, the clicking exist. The clicking sound is similar to switching a solid state relay on and off. It looks like the iTransport transmits a signal which triggers some of the solid state relay inside the DAC on and off.

I then connected the DAC to a DVD player and then press the “Play “ and “Stop” buttons of the DVD remote control and no clicking sound were heard.

All the above testing were carried out with the preamp and power amp off.
