I got an E7 used on Amazon. I've never used an amp or DAC before, so I'm not sure what to expect. When plugged into a laptop usb port, it seems to work and the sound seems to be improved, but there is static present at all times (when sound is and isn't playing). Is this in any way normal? I don't know much about this product, or if there is some incorrect setting I have it on. The static grows louder when the volume is turned up? It was listed as "like new," but contained no instructions. Am I missing something or might it be defective?

I'll keep this very short. They are very smooth sounding. Treble toned down so not so good for rock but have a magic about them that makes them better than mark 2. I use them with a '89/'90...

Are you getting the same static with just headphones plugged in? I get that here with my desktop. I think it's just electronic noise from the computer itself.

Yes. So you're getting the noise from the DAC too, not just the PC headphone port? Hmm. My problem is the noise from the desktop front panel port. Even with volume at zero I get noise.
