Hey all, so I recently purchased a Toppic D30 dac + valhalla 2 + dt1990 headphones setup.
I noticed that whenever the gpu is running, I get low pitched buzzing noise. I hear this is a common thing - but I can't work out how to fix it - here's what I've tried.
1. Computer -> Dac (via USB) -> amp -> headphones = buzzing noise
2. Computer -> Dac (via optical) -> amp -> Headphones = buzzing noise
3. Computer -> amp (via 3.5mm out on computer -> Headphones = buzzing noise
4. Computer - > HEadphones (via 3.5mm out on computer = no buzzing at all
5. Computer -> A different, cheap 5.1 channel amp (via optical) -> Bookshelf speakers = no buzzing at all --- BUT if the amp and dac are turned on and connected to the computer - they still receive buzz even though the audio is going to the bookshelf speakers - but if I switch off the DAC - then there's no noise.
I've tried plugging everything into the same power outlet - no help
I've tried creating distance from the amp/dac and the computer - no help
There aren't any wireless items in the area - and also this is directly related to gpu usage anyway
It seems like some kind of static coming directly through ANY cable, including optical. I can't for hte LIFE of me work this out - any help would be SUPER appreciated.
