Pontus 15th right channel output -crackle/slight distortion?


I've noticed an issue as per title. I've tried all manner of things to isolate the problem; ICs, tried different streamer/DAC, amp/pre amp, tubes in my pre amp but it's down to the Pontus. I've swapped left and right RCAs/channels on the Pontus outputs and the issue migrated to the left.

Very grateful if anyone has a possible solution or has experienced this themselves.

For context, the Pontus has been out of my system for a little while as I've been using a streamer/DAC, not sure if this would contribute

 

Thanks in advance 👍

I have a T2 12, experienced some thing similar to what you describe, subtle noise but noticeable. Turned my Dac off and waited a few minutes, turned back on and no more issue. Hope this works for you also. No idea what the issue was but it went away with this type of reset.

@toneranger58 thanks for this, I'll give it a shot. I've had it unplugged since yesterday; I'll power it up later and see 👍
