First up - 1st post on head-fi . Been trawling around since January, and wow, wallet has felt the pain

.

<edit> 2nd post? No idea where my first was

</edit>

So I bought an iBasso T1 at some point. I've got one major gripe with the T1, being that it doesn't seem to be properly RF shielded (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_shielding).

Primarily, I use the T1 on public transport, so on a given trip, about 15 or so mobile (cell) phones will be receiving signals at some point, making the iBasso feed VERY loud static pulses into my mylar3s/ms-1s and into my unhappy ears

.

Does anyone else have this problem, or better, does anyone know how to fix it? Would I have to open the amp and fix the grounding or something?

A cheap fix I read somewhere is to wrap a few layers of aluminum foil around your amp. It won't look pretty, but it should get the job done

Tried the aluminium wrap with many (!!) layers, but no change

.

Any other suggestions anyone?

My T1 occasionally gives me loud noise in the express train, or even in the home use.
In most cases, holding or slight touching the amp with my fingers relieve the noise for a while... though I don't know the fundamental fix for the matter.

Sold my T1 for exactly this. Bought a T2, they got it fixed.

Actually, I ordered my T2 yesterday

Came up with an interim solution (which may become permanent).

Bought Atrio m5s

. Hopefully sounds nicer than the amped Mylar x3s. Will be using them unamped from the 2nd gen nano.
