Yes its correct, that is likely resulted by the signal from source not locked by the DAC. I suspect this is due to poor design by the chinese product DAC. I doubt it is due to connection problem because i tried tightening the cables but to no avail

How to resolve it?

You have to turn on the DAC first before the CD player. Then switch to the coaxial/optical that you plan to use. Then only you turn on the CD player. You will notice a click sound once the signal from CD player's is locked by the DAC. The above steps work for me.

In my case, the problem is cause by poor power source, an old power extension cord. My amp also affected that time. After changing a new one, problem solved.

Hi Seniors,

Just got my hands on a second hand Zero. If I wanna use it as a pre-amp, do I press the "Preamp" button to activate it (light on)? Or should I leave it off (light off)?

Thank you...

I can't get the ZERO play 24bit/192000Hz sampling rate wihout crackling sound via optical tosslink, but I can get it nicely with coaxial, is this normal? The max I can go with tosslink is only 24bit/96000Hz.

Should I get new tosslink?

In relation to the above post, what should the ideal sampling rate setting be? My setup is actually PC/Foobar/Wasapi/Realtek SC -> SPDIF -> Zero.

Seniors, please advise.

Thanks.
