has anyone notice the cable is very sensitive to current?
I mean, first time I notice is when I charge and play my mojo paired with it, I can feel in my right ear some hmmm sound.
Today I took off my jacket, when it pass the cable, there is a very strong cracking sound in my left ear almost kill me...
I have them hum a lot when touching either side, while not plugged to anything... so yes static can be an issue![]()
I have gone through the same problem.
i have posted the solution in the thread before. I am posting it again... saving time...
1. If you have hum/static while touching the lcd i4 outer casing or the hum starts as soon as your hands or shoulders come close to your ears ... that too when your source is charging... the problem is with earthing/signal interference.... i had the same problem with hugo 2 (charging on) .... i am using ifi audio groundhog as advised by Kmann ( the groundhog should be directly connected to the wall, not the extension cord)... other alternative is to use ifi audio micro iusb 3.0... this is the best solution to correct the EMI/RMF/GROUNDING etc. ( this works in complex extension cord/power outlets)... there is no hum when the charging of the source is off....it also depends upon the laptop/ pc/imac ...do they have grounding in their plug...
2. I had the same problem with MacBook pro via usb while charging.
3. The other solution is use optical out. ( no fuss at all)...it limits bitrate to 192/24 (thats not a problem imho)...
4. I use my Ak kann as a transport with hugo 2.... no problems at all...works fine.
I believe the main problem is with the power supply .... i have noticed improvement in sound quality after eliminating the power issues....
Thanks
