Sorry to re-hash this...
Are you getting pop only when switching inputs, only when switching between passive & buffer, or both?
Are you switching between inputs and buffers that often? And the pop bothers you enough to go through all of this work? All to avoid a momentary pop on occasion.
Yeah, it's anytime I do anything with the Saga + other than adjust volume. So, between switching inputs, changing from active/passive, or muting/unmuting. It's not an issue with Saga +, it's the DC on the amplifier input causing it, I just don't know how to fix this.
Yes, it's that annoying to me. I pretty much redid my home theater system a couple years ago because of something similar.
I ended up putting the Sys back in during lunch and setting it so that it's gone, I just need to get some longer interconnects so I can hid it because it sticks out like a sore thumb being that it's the only silver piece in the system...
