Headamp Pico amp/dac volume issue

[boozcool]

I was just wondering, is it normal to hear a crackling sound when adjusting the volume of my Pico? It only makes that sound while adjusting the volume, in particular around the 10 o'clock to 12 o'clock range.
Has anyone else had that experience?
I have it connected from my computer via USB, and I'm using Audio Technica ATH-AD2000 cans
Thanks!

I'm betting that Justin will answer soon enough...but I sometimes hear a slight "rustling" (not sure what to call it) when the amp is cold. If I turn the volume from 7 o'clock(almost off) to 1 o'clock a few times, the noise completely disappears.

GreatDane,
Yup, that's exactly it. I switched between 7 o'clock and 1 o'clock for about 30 seconds, and it went away. I wonder why that happens
Thanks!!

Great! Good thing it wasn't a serious problem.

Yeah, I have that rustling too... I was a bit worried that something was wrong, but like you said, it goes away at higher volumes so I figured it was okay. Glad to hear it wasn't just mine
