Not heard the noise. But will have a listen.

I can live with that if it cuts out when the LEDs do. Price you pay for a few seconds of useful on screen info.


As to the remote... My volume has always messed up the inputs to the extent I was thinking of sending it back. It doesn't always do it, hence why I think it may stop...

But it always comes back! If I am not the only one, then is this a remote problem or a device software issue?

It's usually the volume up button I think, changing the input instead. Infuriating.

you two are talking speakers right? I don't have any issues hp wise nor do I ever use the remote. Again I'm a few weeks away from my pre amp and don't plan on using speakers at any rate.

rca and xlr outputs, not an issue through headphone out.
 
Is there any possibility of Chord being able to update firmware/software or make any other changes to TT so that display can be switched off to resolve this issue? This spoils an otherwise amazing unit. Thanks.

But shouldn't there be a problem with xlr and RCA outs to pre amp? There are no reported issues into gsx mk2 then to hp out.

sorry, i dont know. I dont have a preamp to test as i use tt as preamp direct to active speakers (built in power amp in speakers).

Ok, sorry to hear this. amended silly recommendation.

I don't have this noise problem but I am using headphones exclusively. So maybe it is somehow confine to folks using speakers.

 

[halloweenman]

yes, rca and xlr outputs only. headphone out seems fine.

It's not just speakers but power amp speakers. Possibly using TT with its new power amp to non powered speakers is a solution?

 

[halloweenman]

i suspect the noise will be there whatever is connected to the rca or xlr outputs such as preamp, poweramp, or integrated amp.

 

[Whazzzup]

the noise will be there whatever is connected to the rca or xlr outouts (preamp, poweramp, or integrated amp)

That's news to me. I'll get back to you in a few weeks with my tests.

Just to clarify, on my setup, I am using the XLR out to my headphone amp and I do not hear any noise with the LCD lights on or off. I experienced the same on a different hi-end headphone amp recently. No noise.

 

[S Crowther]

Same here. I use the Hugo TT as DAC only and connected to Violetric V281 with Moon Audio XLR cables. TT is switched to line out. Never heard any noise when LCDs lit or any time at all.

 

[halloweenman]

I'm going straight from Hugo TT to ATC SCM40A active speakers (speakers with built in power amp) via XLR-XLR balanced audio cable. No addition preamp in my setup.

 

[S Crowther]

I don't know whether it would make any difference but you do not say whether or not the TT is in line out mode.

 

[halloweenman]

The noise is not affected by volume control so line out mode will make no difference. As Rob Watts stated the noise is coming from the display so there is nothing you can do. Perhaps someone can spread a light on why I can hear it through active speakers and others cannot through an additional second headphone preamp using headphones. I'm sure there will be a technical reason for this.
