Hello all...I have probably a very basic question...I have been using the Total Bithead with my iMac via USB - everything sounds great through my Sennheiser 595s. The problem is when I go mobile...connect my iPod via a lineout and hook up to listen while away from the computer. When I am not playing tunes I distinctly hear a local Rock Station (low level) although the station is not tuned in to any radio in the house. This interference drives me nuts. Headroom's tech support reply is as follows...
"The TBH is an unshielded amp/dac unit and may be somewhat prone (in
certain locales) to picking up unwanted stray interference from cell
phones and radio/TV transmissions. Simply moving the TBH unit a few feet
to a different spot may help! The computer connection provides an
effective "auto-shield" for the TBH and also delivers a full-fledged
topology ground which is why the RF interference goes away under the USB
connection."
Fair enough...but what can I do? Is there anything I can do to "Shield" the unit when I want to listen to my iPod through it and silence this annoying interference? The station is a strong signal locally - pretty much anywhere in my house I pick it up!
Thanks for any suggestions.
