Ok did some more testing and i am now puzzled.
I have a crappy Sony Integrated downstairs so i decided to use it in order to try and isolate the fault, as i was pretty confident it wasnt coming from the Wadia.
So i hooked up the integrated with the Wadia : and low and behold i was right, there was no fuzzy / snowy sound. Hmm.
I then decide to use the integrated as a preamp, and hook it up with the Odyssey stratos to see if the amp was the problem. Again, nothing, dead quiet.
The only time i had this surface low fuzzy / snowy noise was when i used the Wadia DIRECTLY into the Odyssey. I used the same cables each time, with exactly the same routine -> Amp and preamp first, Wadia last powered up. And as soon as the Wadia direct in the Odyssey made that clicking noise after booting up signaling that it was ready to go, that bloody surface noise poped up.
Where could this be coming from i dont know. But i know i cant stand that low surface noise.
Guess ill have to get my hand on a preamp :(
Cheers
