I see. I was thinking just cover the entire display. Also pretty sure warranty is still valid if you break the seal after 30 days, not 1 year. Still, I wouldn't do it though.
Come to think of it, how long did the anomaly lasted? If it's light or electrical interference than it should not lasted for more than a couple milliseconds, so should only be one or two volume steps, unless the circuit can go to a volume setting directly, we just don't have the remote control to fo that.
Gotcha - well I've only had it for 12 days so I'm not going to open it up. Also why I wanted to get this taken care of now because their warranty states that if they do find something I get a brand new unit back.
It lasted for the few seconds that it took me to grab the volume knob and turn it down. It didn't stop until I heard the relay click to signal a volume change. Right after the relay clicked everything went back to normal.
The small clicks and pops are totally normal if you're familiar with the volume design that Audio-GD uses. Since it's I/V bases, or current/voltage based. It's relay based volume control... The clicks are the relays working, and the pops are subtle fickers from the changes the relays make and movement of the volume control's mechanical noise. The ragnarok does the same exact thing, yet the relays are even louder. This design is superior to any other design on the market. It allows for volume change without the loss of bit detail. Other setups lose detail as the volume is reduced by reducing bits. I'd love to explain this in a more clear way. But relay based volume control is the best for sound quality.
The volume pot part is included when shipped...if this is the problem you speak of. But the relays "clicks" are not the problem. The volume control knob itself has had a small failure rate as new. And some units could be damaged during shipping. Fortunately it's really damn easy to replace.
Some units might have the plug, some may be hardwired to the control module(screen)
Mine is hardwired and covered in black goo. But replacing would be three contacts to attach the wires to the volume control knob (label each accordingly before removal)
but should take about 10min to replace...assuming this was the problem. It's a spin nut that holds it in, and the knob slides right out, but has adhesive to prevent the knob from falling off. some units may have locktite like goo to hold the knob. Pretty typical for volume knobs that do not have the unsightly set screws! haha
Maybe I try this if it happens again after the 30 days that I can't open the case for are up, but I'm not the sort to be happy about working on a product that I spend $2000 on
