I am using a Lenovo ThinkPad SL400, and whenever i plug in my GR07s, there is this constant hiss which I can hear. There is also hiss when I plug in my HD419, though the hiss is a lot less.
I bought a Creative Sound Blaster Play! external sound card just yesterday and found out that it managed to reduce ( almost eliminate ) the hiss.
Now I am thinking of getting a FiiO E17 to use as an amp for my mobile setup, and as a DAC for my laptop, so I was wondering , if the E17 would reduce or eliminate the hiss on the crappy headphone out.
And how am I supposed to connect a DAC to my laptop? Via USB port or the laptop's headphone out?
Thanks!
