Hi everyone,
I'm currently facing an issue with my (beloved) Naim Nait 5i from 2005.
When in Bypass mode I have noises coming up on the speakers.
My setup:
When in A/V mode through the HT pream (optical f and unity gain) I'm picking all noises from the PC, hard disks, mouse movements..
So far I've tried different things:
While looking for a solution I realized that I had quite some "Humming" in A/V mode with no inputs plugged. (Ground loop ..?)
And while checking I also noticed a strong odour around the power supply capacitors in the amp. Could they be dead? No bulging on these BHC 10000uF and 4700uF
MANY thanks for any help or insight.. !!
I'm currently facing an issue with my (beloved) Naim Nait 5i from 2005.
When in Bypass mode I have noises coming up on the speakers.
My setup:
- Naim Nait 5i amp
- Audio-GD 3.32 Dac
- HT Preamp Emotiva UMC-200
- Computer is connected using optical fibre to the Emotiva, and coaxial to the DAC
- Synology NAS connected to DAC with USB
When in A/V mode through the HT pream (optical f and unity gain) I'm picking all noises from the PC, hard disks, mouse movements..
So far I've tried different things:
- Changed the PC power supply to a gold X-650 Seasonic
- Plug the Naim 5m away from the PC
- Add some ferrite cores on the PC and amplifier power supply lines
While looking for a solution I realized that I had quite some "Humming" in A/V mode with no inputs plugged. (Ground loop ..?)
