Hello Everyone,
This website has been a great help with choosing my first DAC/AMP, I decided to go with the Aune T1 to go with my new AKG K240 MKII headphones.
Ive D/L some lossless tracks and ive been blown away with the excellent sound through the headphones.
I've got the Aune plugged into my 2009 27" iMac and have been messing about with the Audio Midi setup and playing with Audirvana Pro.
So I decided to get a set of speakers to take input from the line out on the Aune, and brought a pair of Audioengine A2. These work and sound great plugged into the HP socket on the iMac but I wanted them connected to the Aune for even better sound, and thats when my problems started.
I get a REALLY loud hum/buzz which may or not be Ground loop, so after swapping plugs around and sockets, extension leads and even plugging it into my HT AV system Ive found that...
1. I only get output from the Aune from one of the RCAs on the back, which strangely is the Red input one??
2. Theres no output from the line out, but when connected to the A2s from the line out, the buzz/hum is there even if the Aune isnt turned on, disconnecting the leads stops the noise ( theres no music just hum) .
3. I didnt get any hum through the HT amp but still only got output from the red line in plug.
It sounds like theres a problem with the line in-out in the Aune, but i want to check that im not being stupid and missed something?? I was going to buy an inline isolator for the RCA leads from the line out, and maybe a 2xRCA to 1 3.5mm but i dont think theres must point if the line in/out is broken.
I got mine from kidult510 on ebay, so should i see him or go direct to Aune about this problem?
A huge thx to anyone who can help :-)
