I received it yesterday and it's hissing and humming. I think I'l return these because if I have to spend more money to remove it that is ridiculous. Any quick solutions? I purchased a dac/amp for my PC and I expect it to work as is without all this jargon found at: http://schiit.com/faq/amp-problems:
Hum and Noise
1. Got hum? It could be a ground loop. Try a ground loop isolator or EbTech HumX to eliminate it.
2. Got hiss and hum? High-gain, high-powered tube amps aren’t the best choice for IEMs and highly sensitive headphones. Switch to low gain mode, if available.
3. Still have noise? Tube amps are going to be more variable in terms of noise than solid-state. Some tubes will be very quiet. Some won’t. That’s why we say, “If you’re looking for certainty, go solid-state.”
