Hey guys, after a LOT of research I bought the Topping D10 + JDS Atom to be used with my Sennheiser HD650 and Krk Rokit 5 Speakers. My source is a desktop computer.
The thing is I'm having a terrible time trying to understand why I am getting so much noise when using the speakers. I got noises that are linked to the usage of the computer, like I can hear through the speakers when I'm scrolling down a webpage and things like that. When using the DAC with a batteryu powered laptop, there is no noise, so I'm thinking it's some kind of ground loop from my desktop.
Are there good ways to get rid of this problem? After searching I've found a device that promisses to stop the noise (iFi Audio iDefender 3.0), but it costs almost as much as the DAC I bought, so it does not seems really worth. I found something called adum4160 but it uses USB1.1, which would not be compatible with Hires audio files.
Those noises are driving me insane, I would appreciate any help!
