running SPDIF coax (doesn't really matter) to the Buffalo DAC with IVY (v1.0), when playing, pull out the SPDIF. I'm interested in the DC offset. Does it zero itself with a loss of signal or is there DC?
I noticed a problem with my computer motherboard feeding SPDIF to the Buffalo DAC, that there's DC. It seems when it stops playing the DC remains and doesn't drop down to idle levels, if I play a digital silence file, the DC goes back to idle voltages. Upon poking around, I found that if I pull the SPDIF, I can get similar results.
I was just curious if anyone else saw that. I was initially thinking blown opamps, but now I'm not so sure.
Thanks much.
