Does anyone else have a lot of electrical noise coming from the output of their SDAC? @Michael_Grace any thoughts?
Clip here: https://clyp.it/zx0kbxp5 - this is definitely audible (slightly) at normal listening levels. Happens when plugged in to either a MacBook Pro or my desktop PC in two different locations :/. A Schiit Modi and a Hifiman EF2A exhibit no noise in the same situations with the same cables and same placements.

spronkHi spronk, It sounds like it could be computer ground loop noise. What do you have connected to the output of the SDAC?

AlexVallejoI had two separate amps connected, both amps sourcing power from the same power strip. Tried different power strips too.

spronkDoes it happen with your Macbook when it is running off the battery and nothing else is connected to it? If you eliminate the possibility of a ground loop and the noise is still there, then it's possible you might have a defective unit.
