Ok now I've re-read interesting so the noise actually only appear with the combination of HT computer - Teac DAC - Emotiva preamp in HT bypass . So this noise is not even there with the same DAC in normal use ? Or connected in some other way .
I've was not sure that I understood this right . " things happens " yes indeed . Wonder if one could cut of vcc and ground in the USB cable , but Google tells me that that would not work reliable some receiver chips and designs actually use the USB bus power for the receiving chip . Wonder if he uses grounded outlets for power ? , lifting ground somewhere is an old trick . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
