    Marantz PM6006 DAC noise using TosLink / digital / optical

    Hi, thanks. I've connected it up as soon as I got back. It sounds pretty good.

    Hello, I've just bought a Marantz PM6006 integrated amp and a pair of B&W 685 s2. Today, I noticed there is a buzzing noise when using the optical connections (to my computer). Here's the situation: 1. This buzzing noise is exactly like that emitted by fluorescent lights. It's not the white...
