Headphoneus Supremus
I have my studio monitors (Yamaha HS7 and HS8S sub) plugged into a Schiit Audio Modi 2 and Magni 2 headphone amp/dac and I am getting terrible static through the monitors.
The noise does seem to be effected by what's happening on the computer. For example, if I do something more intensive, like open a game or copy files, the noise gets worse. It is also there when I turn the volume nob on the headphone amp to zero, but disappears if I change the volume on the back of the monitors themselves, which obviously isn't much help as then I can't hear them. The noise goes away completely when I plug my headphones into the Magni 2.
Any idea what might be causing this and how to fix it?
A few other things to note is that in games when I move the mouse, the static changes as the mouse moves. The static also reacts sometimes when clicking an adjustment in photoshop etc. The noise also stops completely if I remove the Modi 2 USB cable from the back of the computer.
