You need to get a nice quiet PC like a Serenity from Puget Custom Computer or one of the Endpcnoise PCs.
Way cheaper to just turn the music up

I'm obsessive compulsive about loud computer noise, and fans or drives that whirr or are high pitched are the worst even when just working and not listening to music.
I looked up the initial song you put
and almost went crazy looking for it
then i don't know if i imaged something but @ 20 seconds i thought i heard a whisper in the background but that could be a beat, and now i need to look up the edited song
what a weird video man!
Check at 20 sec
@Sarnia
do you hear it?
I'll check out the George Erza now!
Where is the whisper? I got 440s on (beyers not shure) so i doubt i'll hear it hehe
I hear a "Go" at the start 1st second
Some observations about my Z1Rs. First off The Sony/Kimber cables make a nice difference in my opinion, everything just sounded a little better to me.
Also, I have tried the Z1Rs with with the Chord Hugo and the Audioquest Dragonfly Red. The Hugo was definitely more resolving and provided a better sense of space, but the Red actually provided a little more body to my music. Bass was little more fun.
Love the DF red...A little firecracker of a DAC for its price...I often change it up with the mojo (with my iPod touch 6) if I want a quick, lightweight and unencumbered connection on the fly.
I often think of picking one up, but sadly have no need for it. My buddy is looking for something so maybe I'll suggest the Red to him (and that way gain sneaky access to one when I want to try it).
Have been listening on and off to the Z1R the past few days: ipod classic > cypherlabs soloDB > SPDIF > Hugo. On my earlier post I mentioned the Z1R to me sounded best suited to my tastes after comparing with various other TOTL cans. Not sure I still feel the same as I now feel the Z1R can be a bit too polite on the top end resulting to a darkish sonic character, as if there's a thin curtain in front. Instruments like brass, horns, guitar and even piano loses a bit of the sharp edge that to me is an important part of musical enjoyment. On some tracks this darkness can be compensated by increasing volume a bit so the highs get get more substance and energy, but on other tracks even increasing the volume does not do it. The Z1R is tops when it comes to resolution, rendering of space and scale and overall coherence and in these areas it kills my DHC cabled Shure 846 w/c I have used for years. While I can enjoy it as it is I am inclined to look for cable alternative that can compensate the darkness. Too bad the Sony-Kimber cable does not do this as it seem to go further to the dark side. Maybe another DHC cable..
Anyone own the B&W P9's alongside their Z1R 's ?
