Now that I have a DT-880 + Little Dot II+, they both do a beautiful job of highlighting all of the interference I get with my soundcard from every single other component in my PC (videocard, hard drives, ethernet, moving the mouse, etc)
Does anyone have any tips on how to alleviate this without buying an external sound card?
(the only time I use my headphones with my PC is for gaming, music gets played elsewhere)
I've heard elsewhere that if you get a piece of cardboard and cut it so it is the size of your soundcard, wrap it in tin foil, and place it in between your video card and soundcard that that helps things somewhat - is that true?
I have a HT Omega Claro soundcard with a CMEDIA 8788 chip. I've tried analog->amp->headphones and optical PCM->DAC (a denon receiver)->amp->headphones, and they both sound the same.
