New Head-Fier
As the title says I just got a DAC to use with my SRM-313 amplifier that makes popping noises as I connect the headphones to the amplifier.
Before I got the DAC I used to play music directly from the jack out on my phone/pc etc. and when I would connect my headphones to the amp I would do so with the power button off and then turn on the power after they were connected. This would normally not make any noise in my headphones which I guess makes sense when the power is turned off. But the thing is when I do the same with the external dac it will make loud popping/cracking noises as I connect the headphones (with the power button still off) is this a sign that I should be concerned or is it normal?
I guess i should mention that there is no problem with popping/cracking other noises after they are connected and it sounds great otherwise.
The dac that I'm using is danish audio design dac 11 with a separate psu and 2 capacitor banks
