Hi guys
Really need some assistance here.. breaking my head over this one. I have zero electronics knowledge so please talk to me in laymen's terms. Much appreciated
I have a Burson PI-100 integrated stereo amp. I watch movies on this thing, so I feed it DTS downmixed to stereo from my EMU 0404 PCI. I guess the downmixing codec isn't perfect, because it causes the amp to jump into protection mode, probably due to the subwoofer channel causing some kind of DC leakage into the amp (which shouldnt happen in a perfect downmixing situation).
I talked to Burson and they recommended I put some 10uF caps between the RCA and the PCB, which I tried and it didnt solve the problem (as input caps. I used Vishay MKT1813 I think if that matters). Does anyone know of any decent DAC that has output decoupling that will solve my problem? I watch a lot of movies on my stereo system and this really ruins the experience. It jumps into protection mode a lot (and I have to stop the movie and reset the amp).
Thanks in advance
