Headphone out left noisy, crackles

I just received a brand new A4MKII and noticed that the left output on the headphone out is noisier and generates crackles whenever any note plays, where the right side of the headphone out is fine, same as both of the individual main outs. Anyone experienced that already?

compare the left main out with a normal TS lead put into the headphone socket - that’ll ground the right and allow you to see if there’s an issue on that output

maybe an issue with your headphones or headphones adaptor, try different options if possible

but you simply need a way to compare two methods on the A4 to rule that in/out

if it still crackles then speak to retailer/support etc

Hey thanks for your reply!

So i tried a TS cable on the headphone output. I can still hear it, but not as strong as going in with a TRS.
When i go in with the same TS or TRS cable on the main left out i don’t hear it.
Also tried the headphone on other sources and it is fine.
