After being fairly impressed by the addition of the Van Damme 4mm core Professional Blue Studio cables to my D200 setup, I decided to delve into HD music for the first time.
I found a Coldplay Album called 'Ghost' on the HDTracks site, and added it to my NAS collection, then hunted for a player for widows, coming across 'Media Monkey' (free), so I gave it a punt...
Setting up was quite easy, and so I played this Album for the first time - WOW! so clear and detailed... however after about 5 mins I did notice feint crackles creeping in on the high register. If I put my ear close to the tweeter I could hear what I can only describe as 'crackles and pops' just like an old vinyl LP. Is this normal?
Thankfully it is difficult to hear when in your normal listening position.
I don't remember hearing this with standard CD quality through iTunes.
So, is this to do with HD, wifi, the Dev app or Media Monkey?
