Hi! I just noticed today when turning on my FiiO E10K DAC/Amp that it made this weird loud popping noise when turning it on, i tried turning it Off and On again to try an hear it again, and it seems to not happen every single time, but it does seem to happen quite often, i dont know how i did not notice it before. Now, i did not really know how to explain the sound better so i uploaded a quick video to YouTube to demonstrate it, the popping is coming from the headphones when turning the Amp on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFdK_5PQppQ
As you can see i am using the Sennheiser HD598, but i have also tried with my regular earphones i got with my phone, and it got the same result. I tried it both with the "Bassboost" feature On and Off to see if it made a difference, which it did not. I also tried with a couple of different USB cables, which also made no difference.
Is this normal? Should i be worried? Could this damage the headphones?
[EDIT:] Another question i have while we're at it, sometimes on some tracks/sounds when adjusting the volume i can hear what sounds like some kind of static, but only in the Right earcup. Is that normal? Like, it stops as soon as i stop adjusting the volume, and only happens on certain types of sounds, it for example happens when adjusting the volume during the Bethesda Logo opening in the new DOOM Beta.
