I'm getting these humming/buzzing noises when I have my headphones plugged straight to my PC. When I'm not playing any music, I can hear it, even when I move my mouse around it creates a low pitch noise, it's pretty annoying. It's worse when I'm playing a game and I'm idle in a lobby with no sound on. I do have a an older Logitech speaker set up which my headphone is connected to, that's connected to my mother board. I don't have a sound card or anything, and my mother board is 3-5 years old, which isn't helping.
I only noticed these sounds after buying a V-Moda M100, with my headphones plugged straight to the mother board, the humming noise is a bit less, but the sound is very weak, not getting enough power to the headphones. With the Logitech sound system, the EMI noises increases a bit, but I"m getting a lot more power to my head phones.
I was considering buying a DAC even before I noticed these humming noises, so I really want to buy one especially if it will help reduce or even eliminate these annoying noises. Maybe something around $100, I was looking at fiio e07k/E10k, it doesn't have to be portable, I will be using it mainly with my PC since these V-Moda M100s sound pretty good with an iPod. I'm no audiophile by any means, but I can tell the difference between a good pair of headphones.
TLDR: Will a DAC eliminate EMI noises, and Could you guys recommend any DAC's around $100 price range, thanks in advance.
