I can live with it, as is, but it's annoying to know that somehow, others aren't suffering this problem.
It's worse for some than it is for others. Most don't have issues and only get minor ringing, but some of the units have more extreme effects.
The noise floor is the same regardless of volume on my unit. Using a dac w/ volume control won't really help with that issue.
I use the volume control one computer to avoid touching it and triggering the microphonics.
Wouldn't it be less if I cranked the volume up on the Vali, but kept the volume low in foobar? If the noise floor always remained the same, how on earth does everyone stand it? Mine is loud enough that I can hear a constant fuzz on nearly every part of the song unless I crank up the volume to levels I don't usually listen to. It makes listening to quiet parts/songs extremely distracting.
I've got then HD600 and HD650 enroute. I was debating picking up the Q701 too, but I'm worried about this issue.
My HD700 and PX100-II are basically not usable. I've got the Magni on the way as well, in case all else fails.
