That's something that's always bothered me about the Altitude32; the HDMI inputs are located right by the balanced analogue outputs - something M would never do. I put that concern to Trinnov and they replied that the two sections have different PSUs and there is no detectable noise.

Main system - Sources (Kodi-HTPC, Vero 4k, FireTV, Sat) into Trinnov Altitude 32 (8-16) (+Roon), Trinnov Amplitude 8 amp & Vivid Audio (Giya G3, V1.5) and REL Stentor III speakers. Others: F80 + Raspberry Pi and other Pi systems.
