Dice Noise

Digital or Analog DSP?

I think it's digital, but I'm not 100% sure. Is there are way to check?

Are you equipped with a CD Changer? If so - play a CD in the changer and pull either the 6-pin or coax to see what drops the audio signal.

Otherwise, it's best to get the Digital DSP setup in case its needed. If not, the DSP portion can be returned for a refund.

I have an original DICE and have returned one due to this issue. My replacement occasionally will have the high-pitched whine or a hissing noise. I have found if I unplug the white plug connected directly to the DICE unit and then replug it in, it usually clears up any noise. I have to do this every couple of months.

I want to try the alternate grounding - makes sense to ground it closer to the unit.

Trunk or radio interface kit? Also, if equipped with DSP, are you using a digital DSP adapter?
