Silliness aside, I've been hearing a bit of faint 'digital hash' occassionally thru my speakers and cannot decide whether it is in the recording or an artifact of a failing 800 drive.



smile I was getting something like that as well long (6months ago)before the 800 started acting up but maybe it's related and that was the early indication the 800 was in need of a attention still does it from time to time when I'm not running 2 ch direct with MRC off. So maybe they're not related as the 800 is getting more hosed by the day/week. I liken it to a veil of distorted treble, like a treble lisp, hazy overhang. whatever label u want to give it it is annoying and VERY distracting ! The answer from Mother was to turn off MRC hook the 8000's directly up to the 800 and run DSP direct from the 861. Boy did that ever take care of things! When run like that I get no lisp, or harshness. I really only catch it with music cause that's the only media I use the 800 for smile


Best,
