Just got my pair to crackle, but it was at a way higher volume than what I am used to.
One interesting thing to note: If I listen to the track in Hifi mode, the cracking noise can be audible but just barely, you really have to know its there.
Same track, same volume, same time (around 4:30) but the MASTER version : big pop from the left channel.
Elear - Balanced to Oppo Ha-1
Hi, yes with my new pair if I turn up War Anthem it cracks on the left channel.
Is it possible there is something present in the mix that we can't hear causing this? Something out of the human range?
I ask this because with other tracks I have with sub-bass / very low frequencies, I feel approaching the level of War Anthem if not as low, will not make the Elear crack, even at much higher volume.
I tried on my Mojo last night and was surprised to find the Elear crack at a lower volume than my Marantz.
A little disappointed about that tbh, it was only just a fraction above where I listen to War Anthem so I could easily drift into that area.
Could someone with the gear take an occilsscope trace of War Anthem to see why this track only, in my case it is only this track so far. ... I thought i heard less obtrusive crackling occasionally on other tracks but don't know if it was in the recording. This is the problem when you become aware of a problem, you hear everything, becoming hyper sensistive / critical.
