    DAC/AMP - USB TYPE-C PD power supply that supports 20V / 3A with a power output of 60W or higher

    In a couple off weeks I will get an DAC/AMP for test that needs: "It is recommended to use a USB TYPE-C PD power supply that supports 20V / 3A with a power output of 60W or higher" A low ripple and noise USB-C PD power adapter or a powerbank could be a solution. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Why is USB audio so often preferred over AES/EBU or S/PDIF?

    ...USB spec, the ADUM3165 based ones being the most common inexpensive ones. Some HiFi companies sell things that claim to do something about USB noise via disconnecting power and/or ground after some delay - these are not specification compliant which can cause further issues, and they may not...

    Which should I buy to eliminate PC motherboard noise while keeping sound quality preserved?

    My setup is PC with KEF LSX II. My Asrock motherboard is very noisy, I've tried many things but ultimately the only solution seems to be optical connection, which my motherboard lacks. I've found a few USB to Optical adapters, and I would like your opinions on which one to get. DoukAudio...

    Topping DX1 II DAC & HP Amp Review

    The Windows 11 USB driver was producing random noise. However, the noise stopped once I installed the Windows 7/8 version instead.

    are laptop USB inputs just (low-level) noisy? (for recording audio)

    I noticed, just fooling around, that recording 'nothing' from an external ADC with USB out (i.e., nothing connected to the ADC input), into USB in of either of my two laptops running Audacity, produces recordings with low-level noise -- not normally audible, but audible if I record or play back...

    SMSL D100 DAC Released – ES9081 DAC/Amp with Balanced Headphone Output and USB Power Isolation

    How does this work in reality. Is the USB power connection (+V and GND) fully isolated from the analouge output for both power AND data connections? No possibly for PC ground noise from either connection to flow to analogue output ground? IE have you implemented an internal USB isolation system?

    Some info about Topping's incoming DX1 II

    The noise has to come from the USB, RCA is clean but not headphones and balanced. I have an IFI USB filter (paid only 15 euro), wonder if helps anything at all.

    WiiM Ultra Streamer Preamp Review

    No, IT wouldn't create noise in the analogue domain.

    Cubilux Budget 7.1 USB Sound Card Review

    This is a review and detailed measurements of the Cubilux 7.1 USB Surround DAC and line/microphone input. It was kindly drop shipped to me and only costs USD $32. From the pictures I assumed it was desktop sized but as you see, it is tiny. Fortunately it is made of metal and feels great in...

    Noise in Home Studio

    Hi Everyone, I'm looking for help to eliminate 50HZ mains noise (Sydney, Australia) coming through my son's active monitors in his home studio. It has existed for a long time, including his hum-bucker guitars. Environment: Residential Property with 3 phase mains power Home studio comprising a...

    Some info about Topping's incoming DX1 II

    You will always get some USB noise (it varies depending on the setup) if you use the unbalanced RCA output and the devices connected via USB do not have floating ground. Balanced Out and Headphones don't have this issue. You can also solve this by using galvanic isolation (SMSL PO100 to convert...

    Some info about Topping's incoming DX1 II

    Just tried some FFTs now and saw the noise floor pumping with headphones out, weird. I’ll test different USB cables, although the one I used is from Topping and no issue with rear RCA. Still plenty of PS noise with rear balanced outputs. The review is expected to be a mix of very good and very...

    Topping Mini 300 Amplifier Review

    I also have my doubts. An IFI Defender+ made no difference in this case. However, I also have a Schitt Modius, and while the whine is still there, it is much quieter which points toward the USB implementation. If it doesn't work, I can use it elsewhere, and it was only $99 on a Prime Day sale.

    Some info about Topping's incoming DX1 II

    Just want to clarify - you get noise in measurements via USB connection? So it is a "ground-loop" related issue? Or the same with optical connection? For my use case, headamp + preamp for iLoad Micro Monitor with connection via RCA, this issue PS noise is not critical, but interesting to see the...

    Sciber ENFLOW Balanced Headphone Amp Review

    It's basically the same input. The USB-C will probably also have a small chip for negotiating the 20V power delivery otherwise the charger will probably default to 5V. How much of the common mode/leakage currents make it into the audio path depends on the PCB layout. The differential noise (the...

    SMSL D100 DAC Released – ES9081 DAC/Amp with Balanced Headphone Output and USB Power Isolation

    I'm going to test this one out as I've had cheaper DACs before outputting to the power amp and you can hear USB noise at some points through the speakers, given it has no balanced output only RCA, this issue would be more prominent without proper isolation. I recently had the SMSL AO300 Pro...

    Topping Mini 300 Amplifier Review

    I hope the balanced connections solve your GPU noise issue. But I have my doubts that the RCA cables are what's picking up the GPU noise. More likely a poor USB implementation on the Motu. I have an unbalanced DAC that made terrible noise when connected directly to USB on my desktop computer...
