I just upgraded my power supply on my Audiophile USB and it has made a dramatic difference and I feel like I am getting closer and closer to great sound...
The issue however, is that no I can hear a lot of white noise in every MP3 and even CD that I play. I know that this might be a good thing because I am getting great sound, but I was wondering why this might be...I thought it would just be in bad encoded MP3's but now tried a CD and I have the same problem...Is this because my computer is a bad CD transport??? Or is it possible that they just record a certain amount of white noise into tracks that people usually don't hear...?
Anyway, the next upgrade is probably a DAC such as an ART. Below you can see the current setup that I am having the issue with...
If it is the transport, then I'm going to be frustrated, because I don't listen to many CD's through my headphones, just MP3's.
