Your tester was probably driving the line with an electronic output stage whilst the SCM-268 has a transformer on the output. I'll bet if you put a transformer on the output of your tester, then used the cable that should be plugged into the output of the SCM-268 which goes into the DSP, you would have heard the same "thin" sound. I would inspect the connection where the cable terminates at the DSP. If it uses "Euro" connectors (or some similar variant) there are a lot of options for things to go wrong, especially if someone tinned the cable prior to inserting it into the connector and screwing it down. The connector may need to be tightened up. I would pull the cable out and cut off the solder tinned wires and re-terminate it with bare wires so that doesn't happen in the future.
