Too high level of a digital input signal causes troubles? - ufnv - 31-May-2018
Looks like my D120 does not like too high input signal level. Music streamed by Ethernet starts to distort when the input signal clipping is happening (red dB sign flashing). Finally, it disappears, Ethernet stays in grey, no more sound. Looks like some internal safeguard kicks in. However, I do not understand why should it disable the digital connection, it's not a Phono.
The effect is easily reproducible if you try to stream some high-signal-level content the with VLC player, that allows to rise the signal level over 100%. First you see the dB symbol flashing red, hear the distortions, then Ethernet (or WiFi for that matter) connection goes down.
Could anyone please try to do this to understand if this is a common software bug, or my system is defective and I need to send it for the fix/replacement?
