Hello guys,
so today my cayin iha6 started to output static noise on the left channel of the 4pin balanced output. There is 0 audible noise on the unbalanced output.
I am 99% sure the issue comes from the amp. I have tested on another power outlet without anything but the headphone connected. Static noise persists.
Switching left and right on the headphone plugs also switches the noise from L to R.
I cant find a service manual for the iha6 online and hoped that maybe one of you can point me towards the right direction. I really, really want to use the balanced output instead of the unbalanced one...
Does anyone know if the balanced output uses a seperate opamp (maybe the opamp for left balanced out is damaged?!)? Can noise in my mains introduce such an issue?
If i can provide you with any further information to help the troubleshooting ill gladly provide that.
kind regards,
Phil
