Changing power source on 828es may fix audio Issues.
I changed the power source for my 828es from directly plugged into UPS (voltage regulated) to plugged into power strip attached to the UPS. Bad move - static. bit crushed - sounds like Vinyl with maximum damage. Restarted computer and 828es, same. Would not have thought that power would cause this - sounded like a sync issue. Anywho, went back to plugged into UPS and all good. Just a heads-up that the 828es (and possibly other AVB gear) is incredibly sensitive to power source.

Did the strip have surge suppression? Could be old, tired MOVs...
Re: Changing power source on 828es may fix audio Issues.
Yes surge suppressor and noise filter. If I get motivated, I'll try a different strip but nothing else appears to be affected (MTP-AV, dbx 160, Distressor and ada8200).
