Pix 260i Headphone Amp Not Great

[jawharp]

I tried switching to a Pix 260i as my main recorder because i needed more tracks and dante compatibility.

 

The headphone amp seems very noisy, to the point where I'm not sure what I'm recording and what I'm not line noise-wise.  Everything sounds great in my 788t backup machine's headphone jack.

 

Is this an issue across all of the Pix series?  I wasn't sure if because it was a 260i audio and/or video recorder whether they cheaped out on the headphone amp vs the 970.

 

Thanks

My main recorder is a Pix 270i and I think the headphone amp is great. I’ve also used the 970 and and thought it sounded really good. Maybe an issue with your specific unit?

damn, maybe. i'll see if i can make some recordings of the jack's output so you guys can hear
