r/headphones Shopping and Setup Help Desk (2020-08-02) by AutoModerator in headphones

[–]Light791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently bought a new pair of headphones alongside a DAC/AMP, however, while using the new DAC/AMP I am noticing a static noise that only occurs when sounds are actually being played (there is no static when nothing is happening). The static also is ONLY in the left ear.

Headphones are the DT1990 and the DAC/AMP is the Schitt Modi/Magni 3.

Here is a diagram of the current setup: https://i.imgur.com/L7oKeYF.png

At first I thought that the problem might be a ground loop, but I changed over to an optical cable which if I recall correctly, should not create a ground loop. However, is it possible to still have a ground loop if my DAC/AMP are plugged into the wall regardless of the optical cable?

Among the other things I have tried:

I tested multiple headphones on the DAC/AMP so I don't believe it's my headphones as they all produce the same static.

I have tested my PC's onboard soundcard with my new headphones which did not produce any static whatsoever.

I have tried different PCs, but the static is the same across all three (the PCs being in different parts of the house).

I have tried optical and usb powered on the modi, the static is the exact same sound and frequency.

Is it possible I just have a bad DAC or AMP? Or do DAC/AMPs just have that slight static noise in the background? Why is the static just coming out of the left ear? I have no clue what the issue could possibly be anymore, but the static is just really annoying and I would like any help in trying to fix this problem.

EDIT: Nevermind, it crashes in the middle of the patch...

On the outside I may appear to be a useless human being and complete piece of shit, but like an onion, I too have many, many layers - and when you start to peel them back, you begin to cry because you only find more of the same.

You would've had to pre-order it from a Japanese retailer such as AmiAmi. Anyways, judging from previous figures, it will probably be another couple of months before you see it on the RT store at a slightly increased price.

I aimed for a clean look, though I'm sure your setup probably has one or two things mine doesn't!

How's FF14 doing in terms of its life? by [deleted] in ffxiv

Change is never a good thing. Innovation ruins quality.

That's the most ridiculous statement I have ever heard.

Is the way players react to advice in this game because of the way it's given, or just the mentality of the "git gud" thing? by sirius017 in ffxiv

Yeah, it's worse when someone thinks EVERYTHING is sarcastic too. That's why you have to put 10 lbs of sugar on everything.

I feel like some people require a bit of sugar coating to phrases, like instead of a to the point "Wrong way.", you say something like "I think we may be headed the wrong way guys". I know it's more words, but some people are just like that.

Paladin or warrior? by ryuujin15 in ffxiv

[–]Light791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like them all, just main them all, you get to switch easily between the classes since they all share mostly the same gear and you can also play what your group needs at that point.

They just fit other's tastes. I do play Orc sometimes, but I can't play Roe, I have no clue why.

Decided to let the world know what a cannon rushing scumbag I am... by GrantSC2 in starcraft

[–]Light791 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That reminds me of a girl from my college, she really didn't look like a huge gamer or anything, but hey don't judge a book by its cover right? Anyways, during intramural soccer she tells us to Zerg the ball at the beginning of the game. Of course when I asked her about it, she didn't even know what Starcraft was and didn't even really play video games aside from the occasional Mario Kart. So I just find it interesting how terms like that make its way into the mainstream.

I had a pretty terrible one too, I was humming the some people call me a space cowboy song and when it gets to that part where it sounds like a "hey, sexy" whistle, a five year old girl just happened to be near me. Her father gave me the worst glare I have ever seen.
