Hi,

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm getting a little distortion on the left channel on particular tracks via Tidal. The volume level makes no difference as even at low volume it's evident.

Most music play absolutely fine with no issues, but every now and then I'll come across something that has the distortion.

I've changed cables, PC's and power points.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi.
Sorry for your troubles. A little more info on your equipment etc. would help troubleshoot your problem.

Could it be the recording itself? There are numerous poor recordings out there, particularly with distortion in the upper register.

Sorry, I should have mentioned the equipment...

Denon AVC-4700 with pre-out to D200.

Denon for cinema and D200 for music.

It's possible it's the recording so I'm currently getting a friend to test on his system when he gets in from work.

Thanks

Swap left and right. See if it changes channels. Do it with connection cables first, then speakers. That’ll give you some idea

All sorted, it was the source all along.

Same problem seems to be present on at least 2 streaming services.

The source was the source. Funny that.
