Hi all, I'm hoping you guys can help me - I've done a lot of searching and reading but I just don't know enough about audio equipment to figure out which DAC to get to go with my AKG K-702s and Bravo Ocean tube amp. (This is for my desktop PC so I don't need anything portable).
I currently have a Behringer UM2 audio interface which I use to connect my dynamic mic to my PC. I tried using the UM2 as a DAC and connecting the Ocean to it, but I get static when music isn't playing. (I get slightly less static when connecting the UM2 to a USB 2.0 port on my PC instead of USB 3.0, but it's still there. No static when I connect the amp to my sound card but I do hear some kind of feedback.)
I'm wondering what to do from here. Is it best to get a DAC or just get a better audio interface? Would something like the Behringer UCA202 work, or should I invest in something better?
Thank you! Any suggestions are appreciated
