I got my DAC yesterday, however I'm a bit disappointed on how loud the noise floor is (is that the right word, I don't now...). There is noticeably more noise than from my Terratec Aureon 5.1 soundcard. When I turn the knob on my 336i to about 11+ o'clock the noise is quite loud. One might argue that this is no biggie since my normal listening level is at about 9-10 o'clock, but anyways, it shouldn't be louder than my internal soundcard...
So, my question is, what can be done? Any general tips on what could be causing the interference? Could it be the DAC that is faulty (any way to test this)?.
My guess is that is either the DAC, usb cable or usb port that is causing the problem.
Any tweaks that I can try?
