Has anyone noticed the return of the optical crackle that seemed to go after the recent software upgrade. Mine was fine until about two days ago and has now returned with a vengeance.

Still no crackle here. Have you tried to unplug/plug in the toslink?

I now realise that it only occurs on the toslink connection from my TT setup which goes directly into one of the Phantoms. The Dialog input is crackle free, so as it is TT related it could be a number of things which I will have to investigate.

I connected my Samsung tv via toslink to the Dialog and recognise the crackling effect from time to time. Haven't figured out how it's caused. Keep me posted on your progress.

I didn't have any crackling but occasional cut offs lasting a split second when connecting by toslink to dialog. No issues when connecting directly to phantom. The devialet rep at the booth here in Singapore recommended direct connection to phantom.

Same here. Crackle disappeared after last firmware release but now I get occasional split second cut off of sound through toslink in dialog. Enough to be annoying and noticeable to the family.
