So I tried the test with a "soundless" audio source. I heard about this source: "23 Seconds of Silence, by Wilco, and....nothing! I still don't hear anything. Regarding these micro noises, I understood that they mainly came from the GPU, however mine and its fans only activate for AAA games...

Thank you for your explanation! I have just noticed on this forum that someone has already covered the subject of this ALC 1220 and in which recommends using the SPDIF output to connect their DAC. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/realtek-alc1220-a-look-on-pc-sound.24019/

Well, with my card, it's the rear port, the one closest to the components, which is the least subject to interference. It's weird.

Having previously had a Sennheiser HD 25 ii, I did not notice any notable differences with the DT 1990 pro in terms of sound scene, whatever the audio source. Indeed, whether it comes from a movie, a video game or stereo music, this 1990 DT, which cost me 500$, was no better than my Sennheiser...

Oh great, thank you for your link! I will try that too

Yes indeed, it can be quite dangerous! That said, your other method seems complex. Looks like it, for someone (like me) who has no idea what ASIO routing is :(

Ok, thanks I'll try that :) And I'll keep you informed afterwards.

Oh ok! You mean an audio source in which there would be no sound?

Thank you all for taking the time to reply to me! The thing is, I want to be able to get the most out of my DT 1990 pro. This is a 250 ohm headphone, which is not so easy to drive. When I plug it into a smartphone, it's a calvert, or into a standard PC jack output, noise and no power. Whereas...

Thanks for your response. Haha, however, I make the effort to pay attention to the details! The ideal would have been to try several types of amps to see the difference, but if it's just a matter of power and extraneous noise, then my ALC 1220 is obviously doing well? I saw on a forum about an...

Not having received full satisfaction on this subject and even on this kind of forum dedicated to the passion for audio, I propose this debate to you again. What is the difference between an audio card integrated into a PC motherboard and an audio DAC, USB, for example. So why this question...
