Hi all,
What with all the lurve for the MF V-DAC I was thinking of getting one so I can start using my computer as a proper source and to revitalise my aging Rotel RCD-02 CDP.
At the moment I'm using my onboard mobo sound (Realtek 883) and there is a low frequency humm in playback. This isn't a ground-loop, it's either from the PCs PSU, or possibly feedback from my amps toroid transformer - I think! I don't get this humm when I use the CDP to the amp. So if I use a V-DAC via USB is this likely to eliminate the irritating humm? Any V-DAC users getting this problem? I don't really want to buy one and find I'm stuck with the problem, so all help is much appreciated.
