When you say "was the best reference" does that mean he no longer is posting? That DAC thread was epic and his descriptions easy to follow, thanks for the link.

My FA-12 will make waiting a bit easier

Inside the amplifier case, in the middle on the right side, clicks are heard after switching on. They are continuous, with pauses of several seconds. Music is not on yet. This is weird. Interestingly, this is only my Volot?

Is this is your amp reseting from the remote control's set volume until it reaches the knobs position? My FA-10 does this if I used the remote control.

Or is the clicking never ending for you?

Wait there is a remote control with the FA-10?

The problem has been resolved. Flux Lab's answer:
This can happen if the position of the volume knob is between two steps of the knob. This happens quite rarely. To remove it is enough to slightly turn the volume knob to either side to move to the next level of the regulator. It is absolutely not dangerous for the amplifier.

Yup, I think I shown a picture of it. If you search my name in this thread. (Using the website magnifying glass in the top right corner)(set it to "this thread" and then look down and put By member Infoseeker).

Oh wait I can just link it.

Glad your issue is fixed. This happened to me a bit with the FA-12 but the same solution works to get rid of the clicks. Was the volume knob at zero when the clicks happened or had you moved it a bit to get the clicks to happen? I'm curious because it would be weird if this happened at zero but would make more sense if it was happening when the volume was set to something other than zero.

 

[Aibek]

Was the volume knob at zero when the clicks happened?
No, about 12 hours
it was happening when the volume was set to something other than zero?
Yes.

How long did it typically take for your units to ship out? I'm coming up on 4 weeks now

FLA) To eliminate the defect as soon as possible, we will send a module that is installed in the amplifier without soldering and does not require special skills.

Who has the module been sent to?

Who has the module been sent to?

Haven't heard anything from them since this message. That was the 3 September.

They sent me an email about this replacement board too saying that it was developed using the Volot that I returned to them. Here's a quote from their email to me on the 3rd of September that might be helpful:

"The amplifier in low gain and mid gain modes could lose stability. This did not always happen, only under certain conditions. This problem led to a sharp increase in energy consumption, which ultimately led to the failure of the power transformer. At the same time, the amplifier itself was not damaged and after replacing the transformer it worked normally. There was no risk for the headphones either, and the amplifier is additionally equipped with headphone protection. At the moment, an upgrade kit will be sent to all buyers from the first batch, which will eliminate all risks. Installing it does not require soldering and does not require special skills."

So @Aibek the new protection circuit will be sent to everyone who ordered a Volot from the first batch (not sure how to tell who is in the first batch though)

 

[Aibek]

It is interesting to know what these are "certain conditions"?
I personally used Volot for over 100 hours in Low Gain mode. Everything was fine.
