I’m having a problem when playing SACD’s on the K1x with P1 power supply, connected to the G1 clock. It just started recently, usually once per disc the screen will flash CLOCK!, the sound will stop for a second and then resume.
I’ve unplugged the unit overnight but still happening. The problem seems only when playing SACD’s and not regular CD’s.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?

It was a matter of changing the G1 switches from Ground to Normal. Solved the issue

This model has three position toggle switch . A. GND , OFF , NOR . A.GND is "Adaptive Zero Ground" mode that actively drives the ground signal to 0 volts. This greatly reduces noise (random jitter) caused by variation in the ground voltage. This position isn't normal ground , NOR position is normal ground . If you such issue , may be have a problem about toggle switch or Adaptive Zero Ground . You can learn about Adaptive Zero Ground from this link.
