Hi,

not asking for a remote diagnosis here, but my headphone amp started to create some elevated noise on one channel. It`s a bit like a de-tuned fm radio but with some pops. It comes and goes and the source seems to be internal since removing all inputs does not change anything. Also, I think, it depends on how long the unit was up and runing.

It`s a burson soloist 3XP btw...

Is that telling you anything? Should it be safe to continue using the device or is there a risk to roast my verités?

I`m a electrical noob and just would like to know if I`d stop using the amp immediately.

Thank you!

Seems like one of the op-amps went faulty. I switched them and the noise went away (so far at least)
