Cable I made for my HD600. First real cable I did. Used Neutrik 6.35mm, 26AWG silver wire, 275 paracord, cardas plugs.   I wanted the colour scheme to match the HD600 a bit, I think it came out pretty neat for a first cable.   Sorry for the crappy pics, taken with my phone.

Thanks for you reply, I'll be looking.

It's a bit late, but I've found this to be my Exact problem. The computer semi-freezes randomly when uusing Youtube, Winamp or some games when the Modi is plugged in. My cable is Usb2.0 rated and I've tried all of the USB ports on the desktop (Windows 8 based). It seems like it's not happening...

My first try.   Two RCA's cables using Neutrik plugs, Canare L46E wire and some black paracord.  

I'm sorry, I meant to say optical but my brainfart made me write coaxial. > Yeah, the cable running from my DGX is S/PDIF optical.   The hiss also is always there, whether I'm using HDMI, S/PDIF, RCA, Internet Radio, USB device or whatever. Also when I remove them all, the hiss is there. It's...

The problem is with my receiver, not the PC. The DGX works fine, except for the fact that my pc doesnt automaticly switch to my front audio ports when I plug in my headphones. The receiver is connected through HDMI from my HD6950 graphics card. Also, I run an SP/DIF coaxial cable form my Asus...

Okay, thanks. I will try this out.   Then, if I make this work, will it be worth to invest in an headphone amp still? I probably won't be spending more than 200$ for now, but will it be noticable better than a H/P out of a receiver? If so, do you have any tips for a nice little amp for a starter?

I just now remember that I've fergot telling you about my Sony EX300AP headphones that came with my Xperia Z dont have this issue, or at least not audible for me. According to some site I've found, they are 16ohms.   Following your theory and my basic understanding of physics, I came to the...

So this noise floor you speak of, is it considered normal for AV receivers?   I'll look into those resistor adapters/cables.

It seemed not normal to me aswell. I've contacted my dealer and they told me its normal, but I didn't trust this.   The difference I hear is kind of hard to tell since there is a disturbing humm when using the receiver. Nevertheless the receiver sounds more pleasent to my ears. At the same...
