You can see that on your monitors. :)

Yep, can do: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=762172
The trick here is to only search for "offset" and exclude "dc" ;-)

Thats new to me, different types of dc offset. It simply is an offset to zero when the signal is supposed to be silent. Everything is moved up or down, and does not revolve around exactly zero. What other types should there be?

The origin can be: faulty cheapo A/D converters, ill-behaving plugins or artefacts of a compressor with a slow attack. The latter is not truely a DC offset.

In general you cannot hear its presence. Only if you chop short samples, you might hear clicks originating from the DC offset.

feel like helping a guy with only half his hearing ut here?
Most synthesizers producing DC offset does this only when you play notes. Hence you will see your monitors pop in our out, depending on the polarity of the offset.

And what about the push-pull pair of transistors? Anyone care to explain?
Thanks,

Well, what about them? When the pair is properly matched and the cirquit is well designed, there is nothing wrong. You'd find them mostly in high power amps I think, so they do not find their way in a normal signal path. Maybe the odd preamp has them.

In analog circuits a capacitor will only let alternate currents pass, and kill the decent current. You'll find this component abundant near inputs and outputs (and in filters ofcourse)

So this push-pull pair is just the two transistors you find in opamps?

Correct.

Ok, thanks, didn't get that course in English so...
