Hmmm... Wondering if there are any spots that I can lube to make the creaking go away?

What earpads are those? Looks comfy as hell! Though I'm not sure I should invest anymore in my MA900s since they are creaky as hell. The plastics are making lots of noises here and there while moving just slightly. So will these fit? They say AD2000...

Is there a tube based combo as well to check out? Hopefully one that supports the Aune T1 tubes.

Source is my PC. Lots of FLAC with Foobar, but sometimes worse quality if I'm lazy, like Youtube. Budget is around 200 USD. Headphones are Sony MA900 and Audio Technica AD700. Although the plastics on the MA900 started to creek way too much recently so I'll be looking for an upgrade. Maybe...

I've been looking around and was thinking about getting the Schiit Hel, which is a DAC\Amp combo (SSD). There's also the Schiit Magni+Modi combo is 40$ extra (including shipping, I guess because of package weight\dimensions), and uses a shipping carrier that might be costly upon arrival to my...

Yeah they are kinda pricey, that's why I'm looking into pads for other headphones.

I'm looking for replacement earpads for my MA900. They are a bit pricy. Anyone know of earpads of other headphones that fit well with the MA900?

Hey and thanks for helping. Don't have any RCA cables, but I did try two different tubes. In fact, I purchased the second one thinking it may solve the issue. Also: Is there anything else I can try? If I get a multi-meter, can I solve this thing? By the way, is this correct...

Yesterday after messing about and trying to clean the entire thing, the problem was gone. I enjoyed the DAC for a few hours before turning it off. Today its making noises again (right channel, sort of a buzz, like crumpling papers). So it makes me think that it has something to do with contacts...

Hey guys. I'm having noises coming from the right channel on my Aune T1. Yesterday I took it apart, cleaned it up inside and somehow it worked. I figured that the problem was solved. However today the issue is back. Any ideas of what it could be? I've taken some pictures of the boards. Thanks in...

Yeah I think I'll do that. But when I do, I might as well also pay him to upgrade some of the electronics like you suggested before. Would be best if I knew the exact parts that would be needed for this. <3

That's actually exactly what happened when the issue started. I turn the DAC on each day and turn it off at night. So at first, I would only hear it for a few minutes. Later on it would take longer and longer.. That's originally why I suspected it was the tube, since it was Ok once the tube was...

Tried numerous combinations with the DIP switches, no luck :frowning2: Thanks

Update: Received the Tube. Sadly the issue isn't the tube because I'm still getting this "buzz" sound out of the right channel. Guess its something to do with the electronics of the Aune T1. =\
