ok now i got very confused and frustrated
, my dt770s just got this rattle problem lately (
http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/wie...770pro-281547/ ) so i stopped using them, I removed all hairs as ericj instructed but no dice , tried running them unamped same problem so it is not the DAC
I've done alot of hdam switching these days, power button was turned off 100% of the time and power cord was unplugged 98% of the time during this process, I think something inside compass has gone bad, everytime i use dt770 or a700 now i can hear static and noise when moving the volume knob while just a few days ago it was dead silent ( never tried the A700s on compass before just today but they could be damaged since they had dropped too many times from my desk in the past )
When i tried akg 601 i could only hear a little bit of hissing when volume was maxed and nothing was playing, i unpluged the power cord from my old 5 way surge protector and plugged it in a plain power socket, now i can't hear any kind of noise so it's all good, but why should i have to do that in the first place ? and why do i still hear static when using my 2 older pairs ?
Btw i removed pretty much all of that black melted plastic just to be safe, oh and i was having problems with the ground wire on moon 3-4 days ago, ( my earth's wire got detached too yooncs you're not alone
) everytime it had contact it gave me static so i had to remove the screw, but now the wire seems to be working fine, atleast on my akgs .....
