I have similar noise issue around 1536khz only and will check reason by more test on my HQplayer
Musician Audio Pegasus R2R DAC
Did you try a new firmware?
I changed computer and no noise any more. So it should be not fault of Pegasus in my case. I purchased new Pegasus last December and did not touch any firmware.
Sounds nice.
I also bought a new Pegasus last December.
I switched my Mac mini(2012 late →2018), noise was reduced but still exist.

Just to post my recent findings on the Musician Pegasus. I replaced the internal fuse with the Synergistic Research purple fuse today. And WoW! It's a mind-blowing upgrade!! The sound stage widens in all directions. I get smoother treble, more emotional vocals (Vocals backed off a bit & less in your face, it's more laid back which I prefer.) Way deeper bass. Blacker background and much more micro details. I might sound crazy to claim a single fuse would bring all those I mentioned to the table. I couldn't believe it when I do my research but saw their 30days return policy so I gave it a shot. I think this is the single most impactful HiFi investment I've ever made. It's expensive for a single fuse but let's think this way if a $200 fuse can improve your setup's SQ in a very significant way then it's not that expensive! I do own the Chord TT2 but always wanted to give the R2R DAC hype a try. The TT2 is still better but after changing the fuse the Pegasus is not that far away!

I still have a little trouble believing in the miracle of fuses, one day I'll have to try to get to the bottom of it. On the other hand, your comparison with the Chord would tend to reinforce my doubts. I had both too, there is one where I listen to the sound (he does well technically, but it quickly ends up being tiresome) and the other with which I listen to the music, quite simply and with pleasure. For me, there is no comparison, and I much prefer the Musician. So the fuses, it may be another time

Yes without the SR purple fuse they felt miles apart with the Pegasus more on the warm tone side and way closer soundstage I would say more in your face. On the other hand, the TT2 has a much larger sound stage with better imaging as well. (TT2 sounds more HiFi might be the word.) Synergistic Research claims it will take 200-300 hrs for the fuse to settle so I am still hoping I am able to get more out of it.I still have a little trouble believing in the miracle of fuses, one day I'll have to try to get to the bottom of it.

Some more interesting findings! I installed 3 x Iso Acoustics Orea damping feet to the Pegasus and the sound stage widens up further with improved imaging and clarity.

Well, There is only one criteria for the best DAC. The lowest fatigue factor over prolonged time. In the end you will listen to more music and your music library will grow.

I have a do-it-yourself soft rubber cube 5cm × 5cm × 3cm for each component, but I can't give an opinion on whether it affected the sound
I can't even imagine how sweet the Pegasus will be. Sounds real crazy.Just to post my recent findings on the Musician Pegasus.

Special footers are really worthwile with Pegasus. The three cones it has may look cool, but those small silicone pads under them are not a solid idea.
