    I have been listening to my Statements with my new DAC and had a weird thing happen today.

    I have listened to about 4-5 CDs with the new DAC so far.

    Today, I put in a CD "Tori Amos: Boys for Pele" and when I pressed play the speakers made this kind of monotone beep sound. It lasted maybe half to three-quarters of a second. On a scale of 1 to 10 its loudness was probably a 7.

    I ejected and reinserted the CD 2-3 times and it never happened again. I have never heard this beep any other time listening to this or any other CD previously.

    The beep definitely sounded like something electronically produced. Not like distortion or any sort of between-the-tracks type noise.

    Anybody ever experience something like this before? Or, have any idea of what that might be?

    Again, my system is:

    Oppo (PCM using digital attenuation) -> DAC -> Amp -> Statements

    Thanks,
    Mark

      Fixing my Statements..or trying to

      Sorry for the long winded story. I built a pair of Statements in 2007 (or is it 2008 i cant remember that long ago). Moving to a new home every other year, I never put a nice finish on them worrying about destroying the veneer in the move. Fast forward many years to today and I went to finally finish...

      Statements + XPA-2 = not enough power?
      by gromit
      I built a pair of the Statements about two years ago. I was powering them with a Yamaha receiver and last year upgraded to an Emotiva Fusion 8100. I knew I wasn't giving them enough power but would upgrade in the future.
      A few weeks back, I hooked up some spare speakers to complete 5.1 and watched...
