So I am stepping into a digital arrangement. Running an HP all-in-one.. feeding flac and DSD via USB to a Wyard4Sound DAC. I am using JRiver23 software. When I play the music, a slight tick sound appears from time to time... once every minute or so... you can only hear it during soft melodies/movements... the tick sound is like a slight static click from an album... but I am picky and it bothers me.
- when I stop playing music through the PC/JRiver software.. dead sound.. no tick
- when pumping a CD feed via a pioneer CD player into the DAC .. no ticks
- I am using a relatively inexpensive USB wire between the PC and DAC
May there be a basic fix for this as in upgrading the USB cable? I would assume many other trouble shooting steps could be involved.. but just wondering if there may be a quick solution for this newbie.
