OK What the actual... I unplugged my keyboard and it went away. Some noise hum after 12 1 o clock but that's just the DV... What is this voodoo ? It works. It actually works lmao and sounds better than ever
While I do not own a DV, I definitely keep any laptop/personal computer/internet router/telephone charger away (let alone connected) from the hp listening system. I have those items plugged in to a different / isolated wall plug on a different circuit from that of the hp listening system. 🎶 ☺️

Dirty USB was the last thing I would of thought of. The Elise started to develop the same buzz but way less quieter between 12 and 3 o clock so I thought ok, I'll change the rca cables one last time with some cheap basic ones to see what's what and I had a USB hub in the way. I unplugged the keyboard and all of a sudden, blackness... I've redid all my USBs and it's all clean and black right now. Sorry @JKDJedi . I would of sent it if the spirits didn't guide me on this one

USB and hubs are notorious for clicking/buzzing sounds.

From the internet so you know its true: :floatsmile:
Sometimes this symptom can be the result of the USB port being used for audio sharing it's internal bus with a either device built into your computer (i.e. Keyboard or track-pad), or with another port that's being used with another device.

Never ever using a keyboard again. My life from now on :

A ground loop most likely. Nice you got it sorted, enjoy hum-free amp :)

My Darkvoice is totally silent, but I was thinking here.

Looks like I'm the only one here who doesn't use Darkvoice with a computer.

I use Darkvoice connected to a MODI Multibit DAC and the DAC connected to my cell phone.

Darkvoice is by my bed.

Zero noise.

Good suggestion @Slade01 .... I nearly had a new Darkvoice! 😒

No worries bro. After some parts come in, i'll be doing some basic mods on my DV. I'll end up melting something, so i'll make it up to you if things go sideways. LOL.

Although a PC or laptop shouldn't be an issue, they tend to cause problems. Luckily these issues are easily fixable in most cases.

Or your bed perhaps has some magic abilities to keep noise away :p

I've tried Zen DAC, RME DAC, ifi RCA cables, QED performance graphite series cables, preamping it with the Elise... It still buzzes like crazy. I'm willing to give it for free just to get it out of my house lol
Unplug the DV and take it away from all your gear and just plug in your phone with its stock tubes and start from there.
Always a good scenario when things go south with any electronic appliance.

I believe shielded RCA cables would help a lot in electronically jammed setups and even better balanced cables where applicable.
