[furyagain]

I was so happy today, as i received the MKVII+ today , but after i pluged it then turned the amp on, without even turn up the volume nob( at zero),
i can hear weak crackling sound.
 
I get that even without my LD DAC1 pluged in,
 
anyone know why????
will it be the headphone plugin the amp bad?

************************
seems like it only from right channel
 
i asked David from Little dot
 
is all MKVII+ have the same "Issue"( weak crackling noise from right channel
 
 
 
this is his reply

Yes, it is the same with all the Little Dot MK VII+s unless you want it with lower power, which would reduce the noise below hearing level.  For an amplifier as powerful as the Little Dot MK VII+, you may hear the noise floor (especially since the right amp gets power first).  One advantage of balanced usage however is that it cancels out any noise in the system which is why it'll only affect the single-ended output.  Generally though, it's soft enough to not be audible during musical playback.

Best Regards,
David

I have heard low hum or hissing sound from "normal" SS amps, but never crackling sound.  Why not send the sound file to the builder and let him check it out?

I did sent...
and that was the reply i got from David from Little dot..
 
I will give it one more night of burn in...
if the sound stay, i will return it for refund...
 
i was really happy with little dot 's product but, his unhelpful reply really kill my mood.
 
and because of buying the MKVII+
 
i spent another 400 dollars on balanced cable for my HD600
 
all just wasted..

by the way
i sent in message to david asked him ow much lower the power will the mkvii+ be , if i want o get that sound fixed.
 
he said... the unit will down to 75%
 
i think it is unacceptable
 
david said
 
"Probably about 75% of current power.  The Little Dot MK VII had the same issue, even more so."
