Ok, here's what I've got. Please help me troublshoot.
I've got my computer plugged into my music hall dac by a cheap usb cable. With itunes paused I'm getting quite a bit of high pitched hiss. If I unplug the usb cable it pretty much goes away. So I deduce that the problem isn't the DAC though I do get some very very low noise that sounds like someone running a sink a couple rooms away - not that big of a deal, but if I could kill that would be a major plus.
If I plug my phones directly into the output of my computer via the 1/8" headphone jack I get about the same amount of hiss I get from just the DAC. Same from the Ipod classic.
SO, what's the issue?
