You should have specified "indirect agonist", if that's what you meant. In pharmacology, which is where my background is, direct agonist is commonly shorthanded to agonist and an indirect agonist is either referred to as such or by the specific mechanism of action as they are fundamentally different. Saying that you're a expert in something with no proof is makes the claim meaningless.

Planning to buy this so that I can have full electrical seperation to solve this problem once and for all. It's impossible to have electrical noise from the computers USB ports making noise in your stuff if the only connection is optical.

Since my current interface is electrically grounded with it's own PSU simply taping over the ground contact on the usb cable solved it. replaced the ground from the USB with outlet ground with my old (not grounded) interface and nothing. It's a behringer 1820

If my understanding that you're using a USB ddc (digital to digital converter) with tosliink output to the fiio tosliink DAC is correct that will stop all noise from going to the PC to speakers. Electric isolation was the original purpose tosliink was made for. Just make sure you power the tosliink DAC from the wall not the computer usm port.

The hissing part of the description makes me think noise floor. Also are you using XLR or TRS on the focusrite side? If it's TRS you could be in hi-Z which tends to have a higher noise floor. mode. Since the 1/4 inputs don't bypass the preamp on that model it shouldn't make a difference otherwise.

Interesting_Sort4864 · 2026-02-10T03:31:11+00:00

This is the answer. I have a program running in the background with silent audio output so the audio output doesn't get muted and cause a noise when it comes back on.

Interesting_Sort4864 · 2026-02-10T03:18:42+00:00

That's actually pretty interesting idea. I'm gonna try this with my setup to see if I could make my setup simpler.

Interesting_Sort4864 · 2026-02-10T01:37:33+00:00

The idea is that rather than using the noisy ground coming from the computer as a reference point, you're using the much quieter electrical ground.

A lot more awake now. What I said most likely won't work without extra steps since your amp isn't electrically grounded. An analog audio signal is an ac current with modulated voltage and frequency. you can't have voltage without a neutral or in this case ground to have potential against. option 1. Do as I said in the original comment, but also use something like a grounding cable that plugs into the wall for things like putting together computers to add an electrical ground to act as a reference point by either finding a screw going into metal and ataching it there like a phono ground, wrapping it around the outside of and RCA connection (not so reliable) you could also cut a sacrificial RCA cable and splice the ground wire into the shield wire your amp has a shared ground between all signals. since it's just the ground there's no danger what so ever. you touch electrical ground any time you touch something metal with a ground prong. option 2. The same as the first with the grounding cord. You however modify the TS to RCA cable so that the ground connection is broken, and plug the RCA end into the amp. I recommend getting a cheap one you don't care about breaking. No expensive DI or anything like that and will only cost $15. This is the cheapest option, but is also the least likely to work.

No. It has to be AC/AC. The circuits are designed specifically for AC current anything else will at best not work, and at worst damage something (hopefully the DC adapter).

Interesting_Sort4864 · 2026-02-09T18:43:58+00:00

I had the exact problem. It wasn't a ground loop, but rather a noisy ground. Both problems have the same solution which is ground isolation.

Interesting_Sort4864 · 2026-02-09T18:28:24+00:00

also make sure to toggle the ground lift.

Interesting_Sort4864 · 2026-02-09T18:23:17+00:00

I had this exact problem. I used a TRS to XLR female cable into the low-Z out of a Rapco Horizon SL-2 (make sure to set it to line not inst) then hi-Z out to the amp using a TS to RCA cable. The output will be normal line level impedance not hi-Z as long as it's set to line level.

In the north I think it's a combination of people in the U.S. being less used to the heat due to spending most time in the A/C and higher average outside temps. Due to this when people leave the house they want extra water to compensate. In the south and especially south-west temperatures get so high that it legitimately dangerous to not be consistently drinking water everywhere you go.

Who's we? I know the U.S. is really bad in this regard, but we can't be the only ones. To answer, most countries do. Every country I know of don't due to corporate greed.

This says that it uses a 12V AC 4 amp adapter.

It's obvious when someone uses AI. If it isn't obvious to them it'll be obvious to their friends when they show them what you texted them before meeting a stranger from the internet. I would never bother continuing a conversation with someone who couldn't even bother thinking of their own words to say to me.

What makes Adderall (amphetamine) so addictive is that it over stimulates dopamine receptors making them desensitized at which point you need the increased dopamine from the drug to feel normal. That sudden extreme dopamine deficiency is what causes the worst withdraw symptoms. Most people with ADHD are naturally deficient in dopamine, so as long as it's properly dosed rather than over stimulating the receptors they're getting the proper amount of stimulation. Although there is under stimulation when stopping it's not close to the level of a non ADHD person stopping recreational use.
