Electronics Buffs Help Needed: Debugging USB Out to DAC Noise
Thanks for the help guys, unfortunately, the cord from the ground to the box didn't work. I also tried removing every device including the HDMI and displayport outputs. I've ordered an iDefender 3.0 which should basically allow me to covert a USB out port on my computer to data only, then feed...- rishan

Electronics Buffs Help Needed: Debugging USB Out to DAC Noise
Thank you sir, going to try this today. Yes both my PC and AMP (SMSL 200) have three prong plugs. Quick question for clarity, if the Macbook is plugged into the same power strip as the PC, yet the MacBook to DAC to AMP produces 0 zero at max gain, while the PC produces base noise and more noise...- rishan

Electronics Buffs Help Needed: Debugging USB Out to DAC Noise
Really cool idea - would it have to be like a totally naked wire? I know nothing about electronics per say, would there be anything long lying around that might do the trick (I'd try randomly but don't like the idea of starting a fire in West Hollywood haha.) e.g. would a lan cable somehow work?- rishan

Electronics Buffs Help Needed: Debugging USB Out to DAC Noise
Appreciate the advice guys. A couple points - I just tested the mobo line-out to see if it had the same noise and to add to the evidence that it's coming from the Mobo. I do like this PC as my home workstation so I'm thinking my two best options: 1. There's a USB 2.0 header on the mobo, buy a...- rishan

Electronics Buffs Help Needed: Debugging USB Out to DAC Noise
To clairfy: I used the Fiio X7 Mkii as a DAC for both the PC and Macbook to keep things as close as possible. If this was your assumption, are you saying there is a ground loop issue in my PC? It's very possible because it's a tight fit in the Ghost S1 case. Does the fact that the power stip...- rishan

Electronics Buffs Help Needed: Debugging USB Out to DAC Noise
Hi all, I know his has been asked before, and I've spent 3 days attempting the various solutions to no luck yet (and some bad luck with cables being mini-b instead of just mini.) I'm providing a ton of info in the hopes of proving I've done my research and someone knowledgable can decipher this...- rishan

Best headphone amp for bass
Man I feel your pain, coming from a 2 x 15" sub car bass type of background, re-creating it in a headphone is kinda a losing game but...as you can see from my signature I've tried a TON of options. I think of bass across a few dimensions: slam strength, hit/slam speed, depth or extension of...- rishan

Audeze Mobius review / impressions
Reasonable idea, gave it a shot, unfortunately no go. If you have a second, would you mind emulating my settings (connect via BT, set playback device to 3D BT Stereo, set recording device to 3D BT Hands-free) and let me know if sound works at all?- rishan

Audeze Mobius review / impressions
Got it, thank you. Definitely understand in principal. If that is correct, then this means that the screenshots provided by Audeze in this help article actually aren't supposed to, and don't produce any sound...- rishan

Audeze Mobius review / impressions
Thanks for the help guys. I found the Audeze Zendesk page a little earlier and wasn't sure if this was the issue because at first they mention high quality audio while using the mic is not possible...but then go on to describe settings which, when I mimick, I don't get any sound. With the same...- rishan

Audeze Mobius review / impressions
Apologies in advance if this has been answered before, I've read through a bunch of this thread and tried searching a few intuitive terms... I have got to say as someone who is somewhat of an Audeze fanboy (currently own iSine 20's and LCD 2C, have owned multiple other sets) I hope there are...- rishan
