Yeah using the dap as the dac would most likely prevent the issue for now. Also what dap are you using? (just curious and make sure to set it to line out)
Its a shanling M1 so nothing crazy.
Unfortunately that dap has no line out, but it should be fine for the time being
hmmm, same problem differnt USB port and device might just be that my motherboard is just not good for this kind of aplication. I’ll try a laptop with the shanling aswell.
If you try the micca with the laptop does it work without noise? The laptop having a battery should prevent the ground loop as long as it isn’t plugged in to a charger to the same plug.
Well with the laptop plugged in it makes noise, unplugged no noise. So that makes some sence but then again the laptop was on a different wall sockit to the speaker when it was plugged in AHHH. 
It’s probably still on the same circuit as the other wall socket so it doesn’t seem to be fixed that way
Do you have a compatible power plug that you could use to power the origen?
Try this ground loop isolator:
I had the same problem as you using even the same equipment (Origen G2 plus LSR305) and this ground loop isolator solved the problem.
hmm, ok yea that could be a possibility.
Well that’s pretty convenient lol
interesting to see that im not the only one 
of course theres none in the AU amazon gonna be close to a month till I get that. urg
I know, right? Worked for this setup and I had the same problem with my KRK’s with the same DAC and it worked on that as well. In fact, the ground loop didn’t even go away with the optical input either.
Now that’s strange lol. I guess it’s just a component quirk then
Don’t worry, A LOT of people have this same problem, especially with the JBL’s.
For only $10, it’s worth the wait.

Most likely a component issue yes. I used different outlets and had the same problem, but when my phone was the source, I had no issues.
Specially since the true issue probably is in the electrics of the building/house not the actual used audio gear.
All though one of my laptops USB-ports also makes noise when moving mouse. Different USB-port does not so odd motherboard quirk / flaw there. Still no actual audio gear related issue.
Could be “coil whine”, so the DC-DC converter in the PSU or on the mainboard backfeeding noise into the 5V rail.
Probably your best bet.
You think using an external power supply on the origen would fix the issue?
I tried that myself and it didn’t work, but it could for the OP.
Little update, managed to hunt down a toslink cable and now using my Onkyo CD player to SPIDIF to the Micca. Works perfectly! so I might just bite the bullet and get a sound card for the PC so it can output SPIDIF. Thanks all for the help. maby im a SPIDIF convert
