After a few month with my HA-1 I'am a very disappointed.
It's again the Volume control, wich seems to be the weak point on this amp.
The laggy remote control performance and the +/- jumping db-levels at the 12 o' clock position are an annoying fact
but a result of the "high-precision" analog volume control, I've been told here.
But now, I have (suprisingly at the same knob position) a crackling sound at knob rotation.
It disappears after moving the knob back an forth a few times but after some time it is back again,
sometimes it takes one or two days.
The crackling is hearable with and without music playing. Headphone (Audeze) is connected balanced.
I am totally excited.... I spend lots of money (Germany) for this device wich is designed for one key-feature:
Pure, clean sound - and it crackles!
So what to do ? RMA? - waiting weeks and getting it back with "No faults found"?
