Ah, so you guys aren't using the coax; you're using the optical input.

I don't have anything portable that has coax out except a portable Akai DVD, but the kids use it so I don't have it as a portable source most of the time.

I've been testing all inputs except for the normal line in, and I have to say I like coax best.. so far, it hasn't reached 100 hrs yet. Coax seems to give a slightly more 'tuby', warmer & wider feel as optical from this 1 source - a digital TV/Radio receiver/HD recorder (UPC Mediabox HDTV).

Would be nice to have some sort of portable (prefab) source with coax & optical, same size as the D10 max..

You can convert to any optical to coax but you have to know how to wire it. It isn't hard but on portable stuff I don't want to have the extra connection to worry about.

You can buy an optical to coax converters.

I meant I could hear a strong hiss by touching the dap like if I became the ground when the d10 was charging, taking off the usb cable from d10 everything was normal!

In "defense" of immtbiker, champagne was the official name for that color and it was used for units sold in Europe (and maybe other places). All the retail units in the US were black.

I own both colors, but it doesn't matter to me as they all look the same wearing an iskin....

Oh he doesn't need to be defended. I feel much better now that I identify mine as champagne rather than silver. I feel like I have taken a step up in the hierarchy or scheme of things.

Also, I was joking but then I have been accused of having a rather dry sense of humor to a questionable one. :6)

I dont get hiss but low level hum. This is clearly a grounding issue as my electrical installation is not grounded. I had a similar problem in my main rig when going single ended but that was solved by using an IsoTek power unit

 

[immtbiker]

Yeah John!

Get off my case, toilet face.

I'll see you in court

Yes, sorry I mistook with english, it was a hum/rustle like an electrical one!

What is IsoteK unit?

Strange, this posted twice. I must be nervous. I hate court dates.

Wouldn't that compromise the signal somehow?
