Another quick question, has anyone tried replacing the 12DT5 tube, I wonder if that might be the culprit of some of the background noise?
The little Dali is a very refined speaker, Hard rock will probably push it too hard. If you were to consider keeping the Dali and change the amplifier instead, consider a Cayin CS55A vs CS88A, you can use the amplifier at Triode mode for most genre, and use Ultralinear for Hard Rock, that will offer an extra push to your Dali Menuet when needed.
I was thinking the Cayin A-88T MK2 reference, is the same as the CS88A? I don't listen to Rock, but I do listen to Classical Symphonic. You think this would drive the Dali okay. It's a small near-field setup, you seen the photo a few days ago. So I think this would be enough considering small room, and near-field. You agree?

Hi Guys, I have been having some problem with my Cayin HA-1A Mk2. I got a feeling that there might be something wrong with the 'input AUX R' occasionally there is a lot of noise and sometime the sound just get disconnected. I thought it was my 'ground loop isolator' at first, so I ordered a new one and the same problem persist. I switch to direct connection between my phone and the amp, and surprisingly to me it happened again. So I switch my cable (red to black, and black to red), and it is the same 'right headphone' that have this problem. It doesn't happen all the time, sometime it seems to work fine and then a few minutes later the sound got cut off (if not cut off, there is a lot of noises), it will usually fixed itself after a few minutes then the cycle repeat. Anyone has any ideas how to fix this problem?
Thanks C3po for the prompt answer. On top of turning down the volume to zero before changing your headphone, it is important to insert the headphone jack firmly into the socket. Don't hesitate and stop in the middle. The socket is around 3cm long and if you stop at 2cm and leave 1cm uninserted, there is a risk that the right channel signal will overlap with the ground signal and caused serious interference or short circuit.
Hi,Is it just the Aux input, or does it happen with the "CD" input too?
Yeah, pretty much I have no idea what happened to my AMP. I switch back to AUX, and it seems to be working fine without any problem....Hi,
So I was running around looking for CD player which I don't have, a few google search enlighten me that I don't have to do that. So far, around 10 minutes, I have no problem with CD input at all, the headphones are working fine without any noise. I will be testing it a lot more tonight.
Aluminium.Out of curiosity, are the front knobs metal or plastic?
