It would be nice to see a photo of the whole board.  From what I can see CM6631A, Murata transformers (oh that will make some people orgasm), can't make out the clocks look like TXCO's, looks like Pannie FCs PS filtering caps.
 
Interesting - I think the 1680 Yuan works out to around $269 at tody exchange rate.

Speaking of Murata transformers - where are all the big modders who were going do all these extreme mods on the U12 a few months ago(like swap the Pulse's for Murata's).  All I've heard is crickets...

Got U12 yesterday. It works with W4S hdmi i2s input (use a regular hdmi cable)
Took me about 2-3 hours to make Windows 2012 R2 core mode to work with KS (also with jplay dual PC)

Please let us know how the Gustard sounds with W4S HDMI connection compared to SPDIF out.  I am contemplating the same configuration.

So, my current chain.  Computer > Wyrd > Gungnir > Lyr 2 > HE-500.

If I unplug the USB cable from my computer, static is gone.

If I unplug the USB cable from the Gungnir, (So, no computer, no Wyrd) the static is gone.

If I leave the Gungnir plugged into the Computer or Wyrd>Computer, but unplug the RCA's from the Gungnir that go into my Lyr 2, the static is gone.

I suppose, this means either the USB connection is causing the static somehow, or the Gungnir itself (or it's USB interface) is causing the static. 

I could take all this stuff home and try using my Oppo or my UMC-200 to see what changes I get mixing things around.

Gonna go with Schiit, it sounds like a ground loop. Not cool that they made you buy that wyrd though, that's just bull.
Had one of those coming from the TVCable, a pretty common source. Subwoofer was humming like crazy.
You can test by plugin all devices into the same power outlet. Preferably one that does no share the power line with any biggies like fridges, etc.. and iff possible with nothing else. If you have a laptop, leave it on battery. If you do that and hear nada anymore it's prolly a ground loop and you gotta start hunting for it.
Good luck.

Ah, forgot to mention.
 
Static comes in on both channels into the headphones.  I'm going to work on trying to test different things and see if I can narrow it down.

thought you could stop usb ground loop by cutting screen on receiver end of the usb cable

As about the usb cutting solution kinda doubt itll work. Ground loops are tricky and if he has one like mine that wont help. Worth trying prolly. But itll be a temp solution anyway. You have to find it and properly get rid of it otherwise youll have funny issues forever.

IIRC there was a fella with the same nick on CA. Funny guy who thought he could hear 'differences' between identical audio bits. Any similarities or my memory isnt particularly bright anymore?

according to the terms of service you shouldn't post personal attacks, shouldn't discuss bits are bits (except in the sound science forum) and should only use one username so no prot7 etc

I was just talking about someone I met somewhere else and his ideas. Seems to be you. Not sure why are you offended just because I remembered some things you said. But we can just ignore each other, no worries. And funny story, I was not actually banned from CA but that's something between me and some other people.
Good luck anyway.

@everyone else. Sorry for these useless posts just some old stuff

 
user prot is banned on CA, no ambiguity there, also user prot7 which you set up after prot was banned. Would appreciate if you just post according to the terms of service.

You are aware I hope that a *forum user* and a *person* are not the same thing. Anyway, how about you forget old grudges which arent eve related to *me* and leave these people have fun with their thread!?

yes, I'm talking about forum user prot on CA who is the same forum user prot on headfi. forum user prot is banned on CA for persistent trolling.
I'm sorry forum user prot was banned.
