I'm just curious as to why the "good" pre / pro's make clicking noises when locking onto or releasing a digital bitstreams such as PCM, DTS, DD etc. I assume these clicking noises are mechanical relays in the unit
I hear these clicking noises on my Bryston SP 1.7. Used to hear these on an Acurus ACT-3 I previously owned. If I recall the Krell Showcase makes these clicks as well when I auditioned it.
I didn't hear these clicking noises on a Rotel RSP -976 I previously owned and don't hear them on my NAD T-760 receiver if I recall.
This is a generalization from my experience but it seems that the lower priced gear don't make clicks but the higher end gear does.
Why all the clicking? Mechanical switching in the signal path? Doesn't bother me but enquiring minds want to know.
