HiI have a Cambridge DVD79, and a Denon DVD-1920 playing DVD, using digital out coax into DDDAC SPDIF board (CS8414). I get loud clicks/pops every 5sec-1min on both DVD players on DVD playback; sounds like a static discharge, big transients. Voices sounds a bit distorted, "metallic" like. Not so often clicks on CD playback. DVD and CD media are new with no scratches. Tried to change FILT values on CS8414 (R=1K and C=0.1uF) to C=0.47uF), no significant change. Tried digital pulse transformer, no change.
Unfortunately, I don't have a scope, only Fluke 189 DMM.
Oh boy am I frustrated. Any tips out there?

- Might the DAC's output be too hot for your preamp? (nt) - Bersani 14:51:21 05/31/06 (2)
