Hi. To the OP, some observations if I may:I've had 2 H6s. The first I had had a lot of crackles and pops when adjusting the volume knobs and one preamp caused a huge load of bass rumble when you turned it up. I had to swap it for a new one, since then no issues.
I use a sandisk xtreme 128 gig card. I don't tend to record in anything higher than 2 track with the internal mics at 24 bit 48, but sometimes I accidentely arm the other tracks without meaning to, so it might as well be recording 6 tracks. I've never noticed any pops or crackles on mine.
I do notice, if I'm monitoring and hit the record switch, a tiny digital noise that happens about half a second after the record is pressed. I should say I have the prebuffer on and I can never hear that artefact when I play it back, so it must be something souly in the monitor mix.
Finally, that internal mics gain knob, in fact all of them, are very deceptive, but particularly the one for the internals. With the internals it seems to creap the volume up very slowly from nothing to about 70% until you're almost at the top of the dial, then the final rotation does 30% really quickly. my point I guess is, I've been known to creap that volume up and up to get more level, and then find it clips badly if I'm not careful with it. AS a rule of thumb, I find it's best to keep them low and use the editor to raise the volume later. Also, do not use the pad switches, as I've noticed the noise flaw remains the same despite the fact the input level drops when they're engaged.
HOpe some of that helped.
