Apologies for resurrecting an old discussion regarding the pop / switch noise present when starting tracks on Ian Canada’s FiFoPi Transport combination. This seems peculiar to Ian’s products and doesn’t occour on either of my two HiFiBerry pro transports or my Allo Digi One set ups. (All powered by custom built power supplies not the RPi supply).
The noise is highly annoying and really unacceptable on what is my most expensive, best sounding but frustrating transport by far. DAC ranges from Arcam D33, Audiolab M-DAC to Arcam Black Box 1 and Marantz CDA 94 and the pop is present on all of them regardless of what input (optical or wired I use).
Ian’s transport is powered separately to the RPi fed from an SMPS feeding 5v to the Raspberry Pi and a 12v supply to dual 5v regulators to the FIFO/Transport set up.
The old thread I found quickly moved off topic. Did anyone ever get to the bottom of this? If it was resolved please would you share what the solution is?
Kind regards
Brian
