Hey Guys,
I moved my stuff downstairs and I have run into an interesting problem that I have never heard about before. When someone turns on or off the light in the room adjacent to the room I have my stuff plugged into, the speakers make a single pop that is not loud but noticeable. It sounds like the pops on an LP. I am assuming that the switch is causing a surge or spike of AC, but I am not sure.
My setup is a computer with a coax out to a Benchmark DAC1 into a Face Audio power amp. The computer, DAC, and amp are plugged into a Brickwall surge filter (PW8R15AUD), and thus into the same wall outlet.
I want to know a few things:
1. What is causing this pop, when upstairs, I had no problems?
2. Is this pop damaging to the DAC or amp?
3. How can I get rid of this?
Thanks in advance for any help...
