This is exactly the sort of problem I was describing. I'll have to see
what happens with the UA 30. I know it gives nothing that's audible, but
the difference test is much more sensitive.
This area is one of the problems of digital audio. Unlike the popular
belief digital audio does not guarantee that your signal will be
unchanged. I happen to believe that we got rid of more problems (that
were in analog recording methods) than we gained from digital. Making
digital worth it.
