DCX suddenly sounds like rubbish ...

paulspencer · 23rd February 2011, 08:49 AM

Suddenly without warning, my DCX which previously was decent, started sounding very poor. The treble has taken on the sound of an extremely bad MP3 that is highly compressed. Treble is also sibilant. I've eliminated the amp that drives the tweeter and the preamp, so this pretty much leaves the DCX.

Anyone had a similar experience?

It sounds as if there is very high distortion suggesting something is wrong. Sadly I've only had this DCX unit about 2 years, purchased second hand.

Never mind ...

Found the problem ... I didn't eliminate everything. Turns out it's the Bluray player. Good news is it's under warranty and cheap to replace anyway
