    Thanks @pbui44 and @earmonger . Been a small journey, and rewarding, and you have helped a ton on my journey. I'm hearing more differences between my old and current setup. I wish July 21st was a weekend as opposed to a Thursday. My work schedule is hard to get away from. Maybe I can take a...

    Final update. Happy ending. All is well. No shock No overheat long listening Schiit was great. Very responsive, quick crap, etc. Been over a month and zero issues. The switching between the ipad and pc with the usb switch is great as well. Big thanks to all again. I love open backs now...

    So, I've had my new amp/dac for 1 day now. No static shocks, no overheating (but I did elevate it off table and have a fan running on it). Been listening for over 3 hours, no tics, no drops. used on the ipad and pc. Hopefully a good story. Schiit has been good through all of it.

    So, it is getting really bad. Used to be 4 hours, now it is like 3-10 min and it won't even play. :frowning2: Contacted Schitt support again with all the various setups I have completed. And "yes" to @earmonger, room is well ventilated with nothing close to amp. Edit: Headphones are fine...

    Not 100% sure. Trying to figure it out. I sit at my desk and work. Stand up, pop. Some days, happens frequently, some days, doesn't happen at all. Think I might order a second cable as I don't like how long the OEM one is, but looking for any advice here to diagnose or if they can tell me...

    ...what would be the side effects? Would static stock (mild) be one of them. Per the internet searching.... Here are some of the things you might experience when you have shorted headphones: Intermittent sound – This is one of the earliest signs of a short circuit. If your headphones cut out...

    So, I've had 2 long listening sessions now. I'm getting skipping/stuttering after 4+ hours of listening (typical for my work, not high volume, just casual). I've contacted Schiit, awaiting reply.

    What makes the heat from the amp?

    So, I might be taking this back. I need to do more tests, but the amp started to act "funny" after a very long listening session. I'll reserve judgement until I can replicate. It was still not what I'd call HOT, but I did notice some odd behavior.

    Do you have a safe source to download a DSD? I'm hesitant to download free stuff. Always a malware. http://www.2l.no/hires/ ?
