Zenith mk3 plays music immediately at switch on?

[frank7036]

Hi All,
When I stop playing a track (II) and then use the off
/shut down button under the system menu all good, Zenith shuts down correctly.
Power off the stereo.
When I come back the next day and power up the stereo again, as soon as the Zenith mk3 is powered up and BEFORE I start Sense app, the same track as I was previously listening to begins playing through the stereo. Is this correct??
It seems that the last song playing is in memory however I would have thought that “shutting down the unit” would clear all memory?
If I’m doing something incorrect I’d appreciate a heads up.
Regards. Frank

Hi Frank, certainly don't think you're doing anything wrong there. It might also be related a little bit with the comms to the DAC - which DAC are you using? The order of boot sequence may have an impact - try making it so that the ZENith is the final thing to power up, or at lest make sure your DAC is powered on BEFORE the ZENith.
You could also try going in to Sense, then Settings -> Advanced Settings, and Clearing the Queue Cache.

Hi Stephen,
well making sure the Zenith powers up last appears to work as you recommended.
The dac is a locally (Australia) made, NOS PCM1702 ladder dac called the Kompakt DAC 11.
It is interesting that the order of powering up makes a difference.
Thank you.

Interesting. Having had Naim kit for years we power up source first and power down source last. Have never had any issues with the Zenith when doing this.

About to move to a valve integrated and had assumed it would be Zenith, Chord Hugo TT2 DACand then the amp. Have I got this wrong @Stephen Healy?
