I've just had to send in my second pair of HD600 to be repaired. They developed some distortion/crackling in the left driver. This is the same exact issue (same driver and very similar characteristics to the distortion) that the first pair had before I had them replaced. I don't have the exact dates, but I would estimate that each pair was plugged into my setup for 5-6 months before developing this problem.
My setup has been the same: PC>Schiit Modi>Schiit Asgard 2>HD600
I should note that for the majority of that time the whole setup was left on with the HD600 plugged in.
I really don't know what is causing the issue. My instinct is it must be the Asgard 2, but Schiit says they doubt that could be the case. I'm considering just buying a new DAC/Amp combo, but I'd like to see if there is any way I can determine which device is to blame. It's difficult to test, since it seems like it was probably the cumulative effect of being plugged in for months.
Any ideas on what to test or what the likely culprit is would be greatly appreciated.
