I had something new happen with my DX100 today, I'm wondering if anyone has seen this...
While walking the dog, my DX100 started to cut out during playback while listening with my JH13's. During a song, there would be a very faint crackle or pop, and the sound would go totally dead on both the left and right. After a second or so, it would resume playing like nothing had happened. This happened approximately 20 times across multiple source files I know are usually fine.
I checked and the headphone jack was clean and fully seated. It seems headphone jack problems usually manifest first in one side or the other....this seemed different I tried to reproduce the problem by wiggling headphone wires/connections but I couldn't make it happen. I was wearing the DX100 in a case on my hip and it is pretty cold around here (18 F). However the player was under my jacket so it shouldn't have gotten too cold.
My guess is that the internal amp was cutting out. Any thoughts anyone? I'm bummed at the prospect of sending it back to China and waiting a month to get it back. It's so intermittant they may not even be able to troubleshoot the problem yet.
