What about noise ... (BD-Design)

Adrian, Eddie too, thank you both for your responses.

Do you use a poti or transfomer or do you control the volume digital? If
the last is the case you can get down your noise by using a poti or
transformer(I say this, although I guess you know it).

As is clear by now on my own (GC) forum, this all was about going to digital volume control (and it was a transformer beefore). By now the noise is near zero with a couple of CrazyA's as main amps, the TwinDAC+ as DAC and the Orpheans with around 115dB sensitivity. The Fireface is in between as well.

As explained the many "ports" open at the Fireface800 added up a lot of noise, but the transformer added its portion as well.
Now I'm rid of the noise it's quite unbelieveable how -as I can recognize now- can hear that noise right through (better : in) the music, once it is there again. And I don't refer to the blazing noise I mentioned in this first post, but just with transformer attenuated sound, providing noise I could hear from, say, 20 cm distance from the speaker (no music playing).

As I see it now, the noise just adds up to the music, or anyway does something to it.

Again, thanks,
Peter
