NW-HD5 background noise issue

Question

Hi! I have a nw-hd5 with firmware version 1.2. (with cracked buttons :ol_biggrin: )

I've been noticing some background noise, in lower volumes. All i can say is that it is a noise that is always there, everytime the unit is in play mode. If I push the volume all down to the minimum i head a sort of "psssssssss" noise like the one we had a few years ago with magnetic tapes :ol_dead: . If pause the unit, the noise goes away...

The volume of that noise is constant, so it doesn't raises up when the volume is pushed up. So in higher volumes i won't hear the noise at all, if the track has sound. BUT in more silent parts of the track, here comes that noise again...

I've heard somewhere on the internet a nw-hd3 review and they pointed out this "feature".

Is this also a feature of nw-hd5 ? :ol_cry:

Has anyone noticed this ?

I am using a pair of sony ex71 as headphones.

No equalizer stuff turned on.

Thanks!

What is the bitrate of the tracks you are listening to? MP3 or Atrac3 +?
