Hi, I know this probably isn't the right place to post this but I've run out of ideas of who or where to ask about a problem with my Noxon 2.
The audio output seems to suffer quite badly from clicks and pops and it's mostly on the Right Line Out. Has anyone else come across this or know of any good Noxon forums ?
TIA,
doggydoo

Noxon 2 Line out "pops"
I've experienced the same problems myself. The dealer sent me a new one, and the same sounds reappeared after 5 hours use. Pity, 'cause I quite enjoy the little gadget. I'll give the dealer one more chance.

The pops and clicks were very frequent during playing, just like a dry joint or loose connection.
I emailed Terratec and they gave me an RMA to send it back to Germany, unfortunately I've been quite ill so haven't sent it back yet.
From what you've described it doesn't sound as if your fault is the same.

Re: Faulty Noxon 2
So would I .
I never got round to sending mine back. I've got it in bits at work and am slowly working my way through it but haven't found the fault.
If it's a hardware mod that's needed then I suppose I'll be buggered, if it's a faulty component then I might suss it.
I live in hope.

Re:
I didnt have a clicking problem but a significant hum on one channel. TerraTec swapped the machine wothout argument.tobias wrote:Hi,
I had the same problem. I have sent the device back to TerraTec and got a new one. Problem solved ;.-)
Seems to be a well known issue - they did not ask many questions.

The new one has a lesser hum on both channels but it is acceptable and may be minimised by adjusting split of gain between Noxon 2 and main amplifier. Compared with the problems I have had with both of my Netgear MP101s, the Noxon 2 is wonderful.

Did it say: "Seems to be a well known issue - they did not ask many questions. " above?
Interesting - the new Noxon 2 device that I received from Terratec had the same problem recently. I have sent it back once again and got it back fixed. Now it's OK again.
They marked it as "The hardware has been modified".

Re: Faulty Noxon 2
I have a "The hardware has been modified" returned unit from Terratec. It no longer crackles but I feel the overall sound quality (via analog out) is not quite as good as it was before. Sound seems less dynamic and the bass not as extended - I wonder if the DACs were changed?tobias wrote:Did it say: "Seems to be a well known issue - they did not ask many questions. " above?

Re: Faulty Noxon 2
FYI, I had the same problem, but didn't want to send it back to Terratec.
I solved the issue by using the digital output, which works very fine.

Re: Faulty Noxon 2
F I X E D I T ! ! ! ! ! ! Woo Hoo.
It did turn out to be a dry joint, resoldered everything around the analogue audio circuitry and lo and behold it now works perfectly
Only down side is I just bought a DAC off fleabay about an hour ago for £25.00 , still I can investigate which one gives the better audio ?
