i have had my bit one for a while now and have fallen in love with it. it has let me down once before and a software update later i have yet to give up a complaint other than i want a smaller laptop as i have a 17" monitor lol

any ? you have relating to either device i would be happy to answer and my computer is no baby. its a p4 with 1g ram and a 120gb hd and 128mb graphics lol..

For me on analogue/optical and coax, I get turn on and turn of pops and no noise.

When switching from Master(analogue) to Optical to Coax I'll get random pops. Sometimes Loud sometimes not. Also when switching to coax - if there is no electrical current, the B1 will lock up and reset.

In optical I get digital data noise at startup. Stops once my W505 syncs up. Also random light ticking sounds. Try a zero bit track you'll hear it there.

In coax I get digital data after I eject a disc. Also random light ticking sounds. Try a zero bit track you'll hear it there.

Sounds to me the digital gates are not closing when no signal is present.
