Sometimes, I just wanna listen to music right the moment I turn on my amp, so that clicking sound bothers me during quiet passages. |

It is at a constant volume regardless of the volume setting on the Phoenix. I can only hear it when I walk right up to my right speaker and put my ear pretty much right on the tweeter. As soon as I take even a small step back I can't hear it ever, and I definitely can't hear it from my listening position so I don't really care. There is no such sound out of my left speaker. I can't hear it out of headphones when operating the Phoenix as a headamp single-ended. I suspect it has to do with the balanced output only. I will compare using the rca outputs sometime to verify. Oh and the clicking sound doesn't go away for me after the amp is warmed up. |

Here is what I have asked him to do for me: I want him to turn the Squeezebox receiver into a very high end transport, way beyond what the Logitech Transporter can do -- and put it into the same style chassis as the Phoenix. Kingwa, Here is what you should know: -- I want the color changing logo on the front of the Duet to be on the front of the chassis. It is also a button for connecting to Wi-Fi. Very nice and clean like the front of the REF-1. -- I already have a regulated power supply for the Duet. You can remove it from the case and hardwire it directly to the Duet. (Or you can make your own regulated or regenerated power supply which is probably best.) -- I only need the digital output section, not the analog. -- You can convert the digital coax output to CAST maybe, if not, to BNC to go into your REF-1. -- It also has optical output but we don't need to include that if it degrades sound quality. -- You will need to upgrade the clock to something high quality like the Audiocom Superclock with PSU, or the DEXA Neutron Star, or if your reclocker is better in the Ref3 that works too. -- IEC input on the back of the chassis -- Please completely separate the Wi-Fi receiver section from the audio section and isolate both from interference. There should be an extended range Wi-Fi antenna inside the chassis. If this still degrades sound quality we can move the Wi-Fi section to a second smaller chassis. We will also isolate the Ethernet from the digital audio section. -- The Squeezebox only handles 16/44.1 but the Logitech Transporter handles up to 24/96, so we need to modify the squeezebox to accept 24/96 files. -- Perhaps we should include an optional upsampler that we can turn on and off, if it does not degrade sound quality going into the REF1 or other DACs. If anyone has any other ideas, please feel free to post them. I imagine it will take a few months to complete, but good things come to those who wait.
