Hi,
Been using the Element X for the past year with a Power Amp (always on), in the last 2-3 months I've noticed a low buzz coming out of the speakers when the Element X goes to standby.
I'm thinking that one of the most recent firmware updates possibly added this noise.
From my understanding there will be a buzz if one end of the RCA cables is open (unplugged). I've tested taking the DAC out and buzz is still there, removing cables is silent. I've then factory reset the DAC and before playing music I've switched it on and off, buzz was not present. Also if the DAC is on without playing the noise is not there.
Should the Element X be "shorting" the ground when going to standby and maybe something that was removed recently? I've seen one of the firmware updates had a fix for DSD/standby buzz.
Is it possible to downgrade the firmware to test?
Kind regards
