  Thats not what I meant by a Ground Loop Isolator, these are what I was talking about.   https://www.google.com/search?q=ground+loop+isolator&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjRpu3T_dXMAhULkx4KHf54B1gQ_AUICSgD&biw=1680&bih=955

Have you considered trying a ground loop isolator to see if that resolves the issue?

It also depends on how good your other equipment is, and how good your ears are. I just got my gumby today and had a hard time discerning differences between it and my Bifrost Uber aside from the Uber being obviously brighter in sound tonality. For my $ and current gear I think the gumby was the...

Eagerly awaiting delivery of my GUMBY, supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I thought long and hard about getting a Yiggy but reading the post from Jason where he said that is what he uses at home was enough for me. And it's $1K cheaper...

I've got a Valhalla 2, Asgard 2 and the Sennheiser HD650's. To me the 650's sound a lot better on the Valhalla 2 than the Asgard 2.   My $0.02

Work - 100% Headphones on Bifrost Uber Home - 90% Speakers. Planning on getting a Yiggy for home soon...

I've gone down that road myself looking for a way to get Digital audio out of the HDMI connector and found devices similar to what you posted but haven't been sure if they'll work without a monitor / TV connected it it. Anyone have anything more than speculation if they'll work?

  The SE846's work well with my Asgard 2 and Valhalla 2 in low gain mode.

  Probably because of the impedance of the buds, the specs say the impedance is 9 ohms.

  They're worth it if you want earbuds. Nick @ Schiit said not to use them with the Valhalla 2, I've used them with an Asgard 2 for months now and have had no problems.

  Very impressive bass response out of such a tiny device. The mids and highs are on point, clear and precise without being screechy or fatiguing.  Sound quality is just like having a full set of high end cans on your head, except you don't... The only down side is there isn't much space to the...

  I only had 2 hours with it till it was time to go home (my setup lives at work).  I immediately noticed more and better bass with the Sennheiser HD-650's on the Valhalla 2 vs Asgard 2. So far I am thoroughly enjoying the pairing.    And despite the advice from Schiit tech Nick against...

  There are slightly different brightness levels between the tubes.
