Push 3 Noise in headphones with nothing on
Is anyone else experiencing a slight sort of ground noise in headphones in standalone with nothing playing? I think I can hear shutdown, too.
EDIT: Yes, definitely hear a pretty constant low noise, and then shutdown consistently. There is a quick 3 pulse stutter of noise before shutdown. I also hear the noise in the headphone get louder when an unmonitored input to the 1/4" on the back has it's gain increased.
Wondering if this is just me or if ground isn't well isolated?
If no one else is noticing, I'll hook my headphone output up to another interface and get a recording of the noise floor.

Not hearing this here.
Might sound stupid but did you try with another headphones to make sure it's coming from Push?

Does the noise occur when you have USB plugged in? IOW -- test without USB connected if you haven't.mfrederickson wrote: ↑Sat Jun 10, 2023 9:35 pmIs anyone else experiencing a slight sort of ground noise in headphones in standalone with nothing playing? I think I can hear shutdown, too.

If so, then you have a USB noise issue, which is notoriously a pain to track down and deal with.

Yes, here too. Constant noise on the headphones when the original charger is plugged in. No noise without the charger. Very disappointing for such an expensive device.
Will return it for other reasons as well, it's just way too expensive for the overall poor performance.

Re: Push 3 Noise in headphones with nothing on
I can clearly hear a constant noise with a slightly tonal amount too, but no clicks or pulses here. The level of noise is not dependent on the headphone output gain and you only hear it when the power adapter is plugged in. It's definitely not coming from external USB devices. Stimming mentioned in his review, that the headphone amp is only mediocre and I thought at first, that noise is maybe normal. So it's not?

Re: Push 3 Noise in headphones with nothing on
Well, for a device in this price range, a clearly audible noise is not acceptable at all. Not at any output under any power supply conditions. If I buy a Volca or a cheap Behringer, then I can accept such a defect. At 1900 euros definitely not.
Re: Push 3 Noise in headphones with nothing on
I would think so, too. Actually, I was asking, because when there are even users who don't experience this issue at all, it would be a reason to reach out to the support and to exchange my unit. Next to the case, that my display has a dead pixel.TilliSound wrote: ↑Wed Jun 14, 2023 5:24 pmWell, for a device in this price range, a clearly audible noise is not acceptable at all.

Re: Push 3 Noise in headphones with nothing on
my Push has also very low Noise on Headphone.
But on Audio out i dont have any Noise.
The Noise on Headphones sounds very familiar to my .. like a Computer with Usb noise.
If i Unplug the Power supply its gone.

Re: Push 3 Noise in headphones with nothing on
To put it bluntly: a premium audio device for almost 2000 euros must not have any noise level on its outputs at all. Not even on the headphones. There is really nothing to discuss. Please excuse my direct language.knarrrz wrote: ↑Thu Jun 15, 2023 6:40 amI would think so, too.

Re: Push 3 Noise in headphones with nothing on
well it is very low level at least with my 4 Headphones i have checked. Thats maybe the reason others dont notify it.
And at least i dont hear it on Audio Out.
Maybe i will try a different powersupply via USBC ?
But you are right. For an Musical instrument its not verry well. But there are a plenty of other instruments with usb that could cause noise. Most reason is an unisolated USB port.
Inernally in push is probably an usb connection from NUC to audio or Pushs controlsurface.

Maybe the problem is a faulty power adapter and not the push?

Re: Push 3 Noise in headphones with nothing on
Please report to Support, the Headphone out isn't noisy/bad quality.
Are you using any else than the stock USB-C cable?
Cheap USB cable can very quickly grab stuff floating around.
