Hmmm, you might have some USB noise or a ground loop then if it stops hissing when you unplug usb

I have tried the USB on 3 different sources. My phone, my laptop, and my desktop and I hear buzzing from all 3. Also tried different cables. Idk why this unit specifically is doing this
Do you have something plugged into the line out while using USB in?
I’m waiting on the USB cable, and maybe the balanced IC from HAC I ordered a while back.
Nope just USB in
While just on battery, or while the charging cable is plugged in as well?
just got the 4xx! Looking to buy the liquid spark or something similar for it

The new Magni 3+ or Magni Hersey should power them nicely.
If you get the chance, try it on a good hybrid. Love the damn things, and it may just be that my Little Bear got me that hard, but when I have the option, I go for the tubes.
I will probably get a good hybrid or pure tube amp once I get a good solid state.
From my understanding, full tubes and planars don’t mix well. Once I get my balanced interconnect from Hart Audio, I’m gonna be trying mine balanced on my TA-10.
Purchased a pair of Tin T2 Pros for $20 shipped from Head-Fi and also purchased the KSC75X for $7.50 on Drop today (had $10 referral credit). I know most people prefer the T2 to the pro but for $20 and it comes with box and all tips I decided to give it a shot!

Awesome deal!
Well, the HDMI and DisplayPort cables came in today along with the new monitor! Thermal paste came in Friday afternoon, but my instructor has to keep it in their room, cause Security thinks it’s drugs. Either way, it let me repaste and finally install the RX 570 Red Dragon 4GB and R5 1600. Set up is now re-cable managed and set up. Had to move things around where they would fit.
Pictures where taken with my phone. As such, will be of fairly poor quality. I am sorry for this.

And the senheisers are my favorite
Thanks for the info! i’ll do that. Love to join the 58X HE4XX club lol

Decided to dive into head first into upgrading my digital library to FLAC. I’m not going to upgrade everything, that would be a herculean effort on my part. Just going to focus on the song I “listen” to. Dance and Rap stuff I listen to in the car can stay @320 MP3.
What I bought was dBpoweramp music converter software. It’s a phenomenal investment with a ton of control, well worth the 30 something bucks.
