Hi Jan,
no, I'm ruiunning a coax cable between my Dac and Touch.
The Bdac uses a linear power supply.
When musics not playing the Dac has a mute circuit in place..silent when that kickes in.
*update*
The noise goes away when I take the standard Touch psu out and swap it for another. I guess somethings happened to the supply over time - no idea what.
Ah well - at least the noise is away.
*update 2*
FedEx delivered my Belkin PF30 today - installing it tonight, so wonder what to expect
For you guys that have one (or three!) in place, what would you suggest as a good way to use it with your kit?
For instance should I still plug my amp into the mains and not the "high current" socket?
If so, whats the best use for the high current one...the telly?
What about the Switched and Always On sockets...?
Stick the Dac and Squeezebox in the "Always On" ones?
I'll be plugging in...:
Plasma telly
Virgin Box
Dac
SB touch
Amp
Router
USB Hard Drive (used for streaming movies to the telly)
thanks.
