Iaudio X5: How to get rid of the hard-disk/line-in interference?

(1/2) > >>

tmep:
Hello,

I thought that there might be some technically versed people around here so here goes:
As you know (or not), the hard disk spinups of the X5 can be heard even in line-in recordings. In my experience, it happens every 60–65 seconds, although other people seem to have different experiences regarding the interval.
Anyway, I wondered if there isn’t a way to prevent this. Assuming it is an electromagnetical interference (dunno!), shouldnt it be possible to disassemble the whole thing and add something like a shielding foil, between interfering components?
I’m not technically skilled at all so I hope someone can clarify things for me.

tmep:
Oh and another question out of technical ignorance:
Why does the hard disk actually have to spin up periodically?

xlarge:
One reason would be to save the sound -> data -> you are recording.

Are you suggesting you'd prefer the disk to be spinning all the time while you're recording ?

I have no idea how hard disks work so I wouldn’t know if it is possible for a hard disk to be spinning all the time at a lower speed (and maybe hence less notable artefacts in the recording) with the same overall power consumption.
