Hi guys, I posted this on the Rockbox forum but they didn't really seem too interested so I thought I would see what you Head-Fi DIY guys thought.

Basically using rockbox firmware on my Clip+ I get a DC offset when I pause it. It varies each time I pause it and goes up and down with the volume when paused. With my limited testing I found it reached over 200mV sometimes.
No such problem occurs when I boot the original Sansa firmware. My guess is that the rockbox firmware carries on outputting the current sample when paused rather than going to zero like I guess the original firmware does.
My question is, is it an issue having a large DC offset when paused? I think you guys normally say that you want to try and aim for under 20mV for an amp and even less for your source, is that correct?
I look forward to your thoughts,
James
