Hi guys,
It appears I spoke positively way too soon on the Zhaolu D2 unit. I have the CS4398 unit with the "upgraded" headphone amp.
Everything was going good until I noticed a slight buzzing/static noise on the left channel with my headphones. Well, I ignored it for a few hours but it got worse, and then I noticed touching or tapping the volume control would cause the static/noise to get a lot worse. I opened it up but couldn't really notice anything visibly wrong ... the static is still there, and I also hear a pretty nasty hum whenever I turn the volume pot past 1/4 maybe. Also touching it or having your hand near it (the pot) causes the buzzing to increase.
I'm stumped on this. Did I just get a lemon? I sent an email to iFi about this but I'm hoping I wont have to send it back, because I really liked the sound quality, but these issues are killing it.
